ENT operating microscope SDM

wall-mounted

Short description
SDM is an ENT microscope by Karl Kaps designed for efficient diagnostics at an attractive price. It combines a cost-efficient design with silent LEDone illumination and proven Kaps optics to deliver reliable image quality and comfortable handling for daily clinical use.

Key selling points

• Cost efficiency: attractive price-to-performance ratio
• LEDone System: daylight-quality LED lighting with long lifetime
• Silent operation: vibration-free, fanless illumination

Silent LEDone Lighting
The integrated LEDone unit provides daylight-quality light with an approximate service life of 30,000 hours. LEDs require no active cooling, so the SDM operates quietly and without vibration. The stable white light preserves colour fidelity throughout the lamp life and reduces operating costs due to low power consumption.

Proven optics for beginners
The SDM offers Kaps-level optics in an entry-level instrument. Its optical base is derived from larger models to ensure high-contrast reproduction and minimized reflections. Wide-field eyepieces allow spectacle wearers a full field of view without removing glasses. The housing is made of durable metal resistant to clinical disinfectants for extended lifetime.

Benefits

• Economy without compromise — professional optical quality at an accessible price; robust construction and low running costs.
• Modern LEDone System — daylight-quality LED lighting, silent operation, ~30,000 h life; fewer lamp replacements and lower energy use.
• Brilliant spatial perception — 3x magnification changer optimized for ENT diagnostics delivering a 3D image and increased depth of field.
• Effortless handling — well balanced for easy positioning and smooth patient flow in daily practice.
