Abstract

See full text

Surgical microscope systems are provided including an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system; an objective lens; oculars for direct viewing of a subject distal to the objective lens; a heads up display module configured to direct an optical image through the oculars to be visible to a user of at least one ocular; and a coupling element connected to the surgical microscope coupling the OCT system, the heads up display module and the objective lens. The coupling element has first and second faces, the first face positioned toward the oculars of the surgical microscope and the second face positioned toward the subject. The coupling element is configured to receive a heads up optical display signal at the first face of the coupling element and reflect the signal in a wavelength band of the heads up display module; and receive a signal on the second face of the coupling element and reflect the signal in a wavelength band of the OCT system.
