BLACK ULTRAmicro Flex · Ø 5 mm round · DLC
A 3 mm mirror gets in anywhere and shows you a keyhole. When the access is not the constraint, the extra two millimetres are worth having – Ø 5 mm nearly triples the reflecting area, which at working magnification is the difference between finding a feature and scanning for it. Same flexible stem, same extra-matt BLACKline DLC, same SS thread.
This pack: 1 × Hahnenkratt BLACK ULTRAmicro Flex Micro Mirror, Ø 5 mm round, flexible stem, BLACKline DLC, SS thread · mirror only, handle sold separately
Made by E. Hahnenkratt GmbH, Germany · mfr code B5182
| Ø 5 mm round | The larger round head. Choose it when the opening allows and you would rather see the whole field than part of it |
| Flexible stem | Set by hand to the angle the case wants, and it holds that angle – Hahnenkratt's flex version of the ULTRAmicro head |
| BLACKline DLC | Extra-matt diamond-like carbon. Hahnenkratt: eliminates disturbing reflections, an important aspect for working under the microscope |
| SS thread | Combines with all SS-threaded handles, per Hahnenkratt – including every Hahnenkratt handle QED stock |
› Bundle and save £16 – the 5 mm mirror with BLACK handle is £64 against £80 for the two bought separately.
› Keep the whole instrument matt – BLACKline ERGOtouch handle, same DLC.
› Most surgeons carry two sizes – this and the Ø 3 mm, so the choice is made at the chair rather than at the order.
› Made in Germany – Hahnenkratt's own description of the range.
Is 5 mm too big for microsurgery?
It depends entirely on the access you have made, which is your call and not ours. Hahnenkratt list 3 mm, 5 mm and the oval as equal members of the range rather than a progression – they are different shapes for different windows.
Why black rather than polished steel?
At high magnification with coaxial light, a polished stem beside the mirror face puts a hotspot in the eyepiece and flattens the contrast on everything else. The DLC finish leaves only the optical face reflecting.
What about the oval?
The 3 x 6 mm oval gives you 6 mm of length through a 3 mm gap – the shape that suits a long, narrow field better than a circle does.
