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).

Process for the operation of an operation microscope

A medical therapeutic and/or diagnostic appliance includes an arrangement that senses a position and attitude at any given time, and that includes a first sensing unit on the therapeutic and/or diagnostic appliance and a second sensing unit having a fixed location and attitude and arranged to be separated from the first sensing unit by a signal path. The first sensing unit is constructed, for reasons of sterilization and of position sensing, as an attachment that can be detached from the medical therapeutic and/or diagnostic appliance when in use. A coupling device is provided on the medical therapeutic and/or diagnostic appliance for installation of the attachment over a sterilizing sheath surrounding the therapeutic and/or diagnostic appliance.
