Line 5:
Design features of an operating microscope are: magnification typically in the range from 4x-40x, components that are easy to [[Sterilization (microbiology)|sterilize]] or [[disinfect]] in order to ensure [[cross-infection control]].
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.
