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.
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}}</ref>
