Abstract
THE NEW CEILING mount with the ''Space Pointer/Cygnus'' system for the Leica Wild M690 operating microscope (Leica AG, Heerbrugg, Switzerlan d) is reported. Two modes of action, ''focus lock'' and ''point lock'' , are used with this system, in addition to counterbalanced free motio n and electromagnetic brakes. The system also considerably improves sp ace factors around the microscope.
