Method for automatically setting at least a unit parameter for a medical unit or unit part with parameter values relating to a particular user. According to the method, a user is identified, a corresponding parameter set is selected and unit parameters are set with the selected parameter set. The preceding steps are only implemented when an authentication signal for activating the identification, selection and setting processes is received or present. The authentication signal can be based on use of a user priority database. The invention also relates to a corresponding medical unit and medical system.

A system for visualizing a three-dimensional target area of an object with a measuring device which determines a distance of a surgical instrument in a target area with respect to a predetermined structure in the target area, a display unit for representing the views, and a control unit. The control unit controls the display unit such that the display unit is in a first display mode when a determined distance is greater than a predetermined first limit value, and switches from the first display mode into a second display mode when the determined distance changes from being greater than a predetermined second limit value, which is smaller than or equal to the predetermined first limit value, to smaller than the predetermined second limit value.

A method for enhancing digital images during a microsurgery, e.g., an eye surgery, includes collecting digital images of target anatomy using a digital camera as the target anatomy is illuminated by warm white light. The method includes identifying, via a processor in communication with the digital camera, a predetermined stage of the microsurgery. Within the images, the processor digitally isolates a first pixel region, e.g., a pupil pixel region, from a second pixel region, e.g., an iris pixel region, and adjusts a characteristic of constituent pixels thereof. The method, possibly recorded as instructions in a computer-readable medium, may be used to enhance a red reflex at predetermined stages of an eye surgery. A system includes a lighting source for emitting warm white light having a color temperature of less than about 4000° K, the camera, and the processor.

Projection of visible, non-treatment light onto an eye to illuminate specific areas of the surgical field is disclosed herein. A surgical system may include a surgical console; a microscope communicatively coupled to the surgical console; a camera communicatively coupled to the surgical console; and a projector operable to project light onto an eye. The projector may be communicatively coupled to the surgical console. A method for light projection may include collecting information from an eye using a camera; determining the light projection based, at least in part, on the collected information; and projecting visible, non-treatment light onto the eye using a projector.

Examples relate to a surgical microscope system and a corresponding apparatus, method and computer program. The surgical microscope system comprises one or more sensors for providing sensor information about a balance of the surgical microscope system. The surgical microscope system comprises one or more brakes for holding at least one component of the surgical microscope system in place. The surgical microscope system comprises a surgical microscope. The surgical microscope system comprises a processing module, configured to process the sensor information.
