Is it true that telescopes with the highest magnification are generally suggested for surgical applications?

Telescopes used in surgical applications are not recommended solely on the basis of having the highest magnification. While magnification is an important factor, excessive magnification can lead to a narrow field of view, reduced brightness, and potential difficulties with depth perception. In surgical settings, a balance between magnification and other optical properties is crucial for ensuring precise visualization of the surgical field. Optimal magnification also takes into account factors such as the specific procedure being performed and the anatomy involved. Therefore, it is more accurate to say that the effectiveness of a telescope in surgical applications does not strictly relate to having the highest magnification available.
