11. C-mount adapter for
block video cameras
The 1-chip camera delivers excellent pictures to
your monitor. The video signal can be fed into your
computer system. The amount of light necessary
for the camera is less than 5 %, leaving 95 % of
the light for the user.
X-mount adapter
for camcorders or
digital cameras
This uniquely designed adapter can
accomodate many common camcorders
and digital cameras, allowing you to
adapt your personal camera equipment
to the microscope.
SLR X-mount adapter for
SLR cameras
The adaption of an SLR camera to the microscope
system allows professional documentation of your
work in high-resolution images.
The image depth can be enhanced by the incorporation of the dual iris diaphragm with the SLR X-mount and the X-mount.
Combination options
A beam splitter with dual ports permits a combination of the above options. Would you like
to take high resolution photos and simultaneously send a video signal for monitoring and
documentation on your computer? The SLR camera and block video camera can both be
attached to the microscope using a dual port beam splitter.

16. Surgery Training
An initial training is a necessary requirement to learn how to
use the dental microscope. The buying of a GLOBAL dental
microscope should always be accompanied by an introduction
course at one of our reference surgeries. Here you’ll get
user-to-user instruction in basic knowledge and skills. Of
course you may also book such a training session for a fee
when you are already a practiced microscope user.
Please check our current session schedule at www.sigmadental.de
The CIDE in The Hague offers further training in dentistry based on
the latest scientific findings and associated new treatment methods.
The courses feature cutting-edge, state-of-the-art technology and
materials.
