Surgical microscope system

A method for a surgical microscope system, the method comprising:

• providing an optics carrier of the surgical microscope system, the optics carrier comprising optical components of a microscope of the surgical microscope system;
• providing a display device of the surgical microscope system, the display device being suitable for displaying image data recorded by an optical imaging sensor of the surgical microscope system;
• and
• providing an arm of the surgical microscope system, the arm comprising a first section and a second section, the first section being configured to provide a vertical and/or lateral adjustment of the position of the optics carrier, the second section being attached to a suspension point of the first section and to the optics carrier,
• wherein the arm is provided with the second section having a shape that creates a free space around a geometric axis between the suspension point and the optics carrier, such that an optical path between a central area of the display device and a surgeon being located at the opposite side of the optics carrier remains unobstructed by the second section, the optical path intersecting the geometric axis between the suspension point and the optics carrier, the display device being provided at a side of the optics carrier that is opposite a desired position of the surgeon.
