In an effort to respond to the advancement of sophisticated operating microscopes in the aspect of magnification and brightness, ultrafine microsurgical instruments are devised. Microscissors, dissecting microprobes, and tapered retractors presented here are probably finest among those being available at present. These instruments have proved useful, particularly at the critical scenes requiring maximal magnification of the operating microscope during surgery for intracranial aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and deep-seated brain tumors.
