Abstract

In an operation microscope (1) with an integrated navigation system (3), the control of the navigation system (3) takes place by means of an operating unit (5, 7, 9) that can be operated directly from the operation microscope (1) and which acts on a navigation system control menu (11) that is reflected into the visual field of the operation microscope (1).
