N2 - Operating microscope is a backbone for the development of micro neurosurgery. In resource-limited setups and low-income countries, the volume of annual microsurgical procedures is low due to lack of the required equipment, one of which is the operating microscope. The price of currently available operating microscopes makes it difficult to address this issue in resource-constrained areas and low-income countries. Exoscope with a relatively lower price and the same even better imaging qualities can be used as an option for this problem.
