There is often a [[Prism (optics)|prism]] that allows splitting of the light beam in order that assistants may also visualize the procedure or to allow [[photography]] or [[video]] to be taken of the [[operating field]].
Typically an operating microscope might cost several thousand dollars for a basic model, more advanced models may be much more expensive. Additionally, specialized microsurgical instruments may be required to make full use of the improved vision the microscope affords. It can take time to master use of an operating microscope.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Schaefer |first=Madison A. |last2=Nelson |first2=Heather N. |last3=Butrum |first3=John L. |last4=Gronseth |first4=James R. |last5=Hines |first5=Jacob H. |date=2023-03-09 |title=A low-cost smartphone fluorescence microscope for research, life science education, and STEM outreach |url=https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-29182-y |journal=Scientific Reports |language=en |volume=13 |issue=1 |pages=2722 |doi=10.1038/s41598-023-29182-y |issn=2045-2322|pmc=9998573 }}</ref>
Fields of medicine that make significant use of the operating microscope include [[plastic surgery]], [[dentistry]] (especially [[endodontics]]), [[ENT surgery]], [[ophthalmic surgery]], and [[neurosurgery]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Fichter |first=Andreas M. |last2=Wolff |first2=Constantin T. |last3=Grabenhorst |first3=Alex |last4=Koss |first4=Leonard H. |last5=von Bomhard |first5=Achim |last6=Nieberler |first6=Markus |last7=Wolff |first7=Klaus-Dietrich |last8=Ritschl |first8=Lucas M. |date=2023-07-05 |title=Comparison of a high-definition three-dimensional digital camera system with a conventional state-of-the-art operation microscope for microsurgical anastomoses |url=https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-37530-1 |journal=Scientific Reports |language=en |volume=13 |issue=1 |pages=10867 |doi=10.1038/s41598-023-37530-1 |issn=2045-2322|pmc=10322850 }}</ref>
== In eye surgery ==
In [[Eye surgery|Eye (ophthalmic) surgery]], there are procedures which routinely utilize a surgical microscope, such as [[cataract surgery]] and [[corneal transplantation]]. An [[Optical coherence tomography|Optical coherence tomograph]] (OCT) can be added to aid the surgeon, especially during retinal surgery.

Surgical microscopes are used in [[anastomosis]] procedures carried out to join [[blood vessels]] in [[vascular surgery]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Malzone |first=Gerardo |last2=Menichini |first2=Giulio |last3=Innocenti |first3=Marco |last4=Ballestín |first4=Alberto |date=2023-08-27 |title=Microsurgical robotic system enables the performance of microvascular anastomoses: a randomized in vivo preclinical trial |url=https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-41143-z |journal=Scientific Reports |language=en |volume=13 |issue=1 |pages=14003 |doi=10.1038/s41598-023-41143-z |issn=2045-2322|pmc=10460789 }}</ref>
Surgical microscopes are often used for the insertion of the [[Tympanostomy tube]] particularly in pediatric cases.<ref>{{Cite journal |title=An Overview of the Tympanostomy Tube |url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9647717/ |journal=NLM}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |last=Spaw |first=Mark |title=Tympanostomy Tube Insertion |date=2024 |work=StatPearls |url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK565858/ |access-date=2024-11-12 |place=Treasure Island (FL) |publisher=StatPearls Publishing |pmid=33351417 |last2=Agarwal |first2=Nikki |last3=Camacho |first3=Macario}}</ref>
