An exoscope is a high-definition microscopic imaging device used in surgical operations. It is usually combined with a three-dimensional stereo microscope and a digital display system to provide a high-resolution (usually micrometer-level) field of view, supporting minimally invasive surgery and complex anatomical observation. Its core components include a high-resolution camera (supporting 4K or higher resolution), an optical lens group (adjustable magnification), and an LED light source (providing cold light illumination to avoid thermal damage to tissues). The exoscope is fixed to the operating table by a bracket or a robotic arm, and the doctor can observe the surgical area through an external display screen. For example, in neurosurgery, the exoscope is used for microscopic brain tumor resection to provide clear images of blood vessels and nerves; in plastic surgery, it supports delicate tissue dissection and suturing to improve surgical accuracy. The manufacturing process involves precision optical assembly (minimal lens focus error) and image sensor calibration (high color reproduction), which must be verified by clarity testing and illumination uniformity.
The advantages of the exoscope are clear field of view and operational flexibility, and supporters believe that it improves surgical safety. For example, compared with traditional surgical microscopes, the digital display screen of the exoscope allows multiple people to observe at the same time, which is convenient for teamwork; its robotic arm design supports flexible adjustment of the viewing angle and reduces doctor fatigue. However, critics point out that the device is large in size, takes up space in the operating room, and may affect the layout of other equipment; the learning curve is steep, and doctors need to adapt to the way of observing from the eyepiece to the screen; in addition, the system is sensitive to light conditions, and the image may be blurred in complex surgical environments (such as when there is a lot of bleeding), and the light source and image processing algorithm need to be improved.
In the future, exoscopes may pay more attention to portability and intelligence. The development of compact design (reducing the size of the bracket) and the integration of augmented reality (AR) technology (superimposing anatomical information) may improve operability; the potential in the medical field includes supporting remote surgical guidance and minimally invasive surgery training. However, the industry needs to solve the challenges of image blur (the goal is to improve anti-interference ability) and doctor adaptability (the goal is to shorten the learning cycle).
