Model allowing to perfect more advanced eye-hand coordination skills and effective operation of a laparoscopic camera.
Practice involves appropriate manoeuvring of the camera on inserted blocks so that they all end up in the centre of the field of view. Placing appropriate beads on rods is additionally required. Blocks of first type have colour-codded markers.  A bead of the same colour needs to be placed on a rod mounted next to a marker in a given hue. Another type of blocks is marked by letters and numbers with indexes made in a small font. Practice entails correct orientation of the camera so that a given marker can be found and its index can be read correctly.
