Note regarding the manufacturer's name: Carl Zeiss West Germany marketed its OPMI surgical microscopes (and their accessories) under the following names:
- Zeiss OPMI
- Opton OPMI
These are the same microscopes and the same components.
When the name "Opton" appears, it is printed on the label, while the word "Zeiss" underneath has often been washed off, worn away or scraped off at the factory. The reason for the deliberate removal of the "Zeiss" name and the use of the "Opton" name was an agreement with Carl Zeiss Jena, which operated in the former Eastern Bloc (communist bloc), to avoid using the name "Zeiss" on export products.
