For more than 50 years, Carl Zeiss surgical microscopes have continually evolved to meet the demands of the world’s most
challenging medical professions. With the presentation of the OPMI® 1 microscope at the 1953 World Congress in Amsterdam,
Carl Zeiss effectively spawned the field of microsurgery. Since then, the pace at which Carl Zeiss has introduced innovative,
pioneering technologies into its microsurgical product suite has been truly breathtaking. In 2004, Carl Zeiss launched a new
era in microsurgery with the introduction of OPMI® Pentero®. Combining innovative visualization technologies with an intuitive,
user-friendly platform, OPMI Pentero simplified the way neurosurgery is performed. Anticipating the challenges that neuro-
surgeons face in an increasingly complex surgical environment, Carl Zeiss is proud to introduce the next generation surgical
visualization system.

PENTERO 900 delivers state-of-the-art apochromatic optics providing crystal-clear images, sharp details and
natural color rendition. Whether viewing through the eyepieces or on its flexible and integrated HD touchscreen
display, PENTERO 900 elevates visualization of the surgical field to the next level. The entire HD video chain –
camera, recorder, editor and monitor – is fully integrated into the system without the need for external com-
ponents, exposed cabling or the use of multiple control interfaces. The HD video system can be configured and
controlled via the central HD touchscreen, handgrip or foot switch for maximum flexibility and surgical perfor-
mance. PENTERO 900 offers a unique HD experience with visual brilliance for live demonstrations, teaching
presentations and patient documentation.

Designed as much for the OR staff as for the surgeon, PENTERO 900 incorporates workflow-conducive fea-
tures that reduce prep time for the nursing staff before each surgical case. AutoBalance™ quickly balances
the microscope at the touch of a button, AutoDrape® facilitates a quick and easy draping process, and the
unique FlexiTrak™ enables the OR staff to easily maneuver the system in the clinical environment. Additio-
nally, the intuitive user interface allows for easy access to all microscope functions through a large, HD
touchscreen display including patient data, pre-configured surgeon settings and video recording. More than
any other surgical microscope system, PENTERO 900 streamlines the surgical workflow and maximizes OR
efficiency.

Advancing Fluorescence
Continuation of Scientific Progress
Carl Zeiss has partnered with visionary thought leaders in the development of innovative intraoperative
fluorescence technologies. The first fluorescence module, INFRARED 800™, successfully established intraop-
erative fluorescence as a key visualization technology. FLOW® 800 is a unique tool enabling the visual analysis
of blood flow dynamics, further establishing Carl Zeiss as a leader in intraoperative fluorescence. With BLUE
400 and now, with the introduction of YELLOW 560™, we further broaden the capability for fluorescence-
based research applications. With its intuitive workflow, automated functions and unmatched performance, the
PENTERO 900 platform supports fluorescence-based surgeries like no other system.
