CARL ZEISS MEDITEC
MediLive Trio Eye Camera
The
MediLive Trio Eye video camera delivers images quickly and easily.
MediLive Trio Eye camera is designed to fulfill the requirements of ophthalmic surgery,
says the company. During procedures on the posterior segment of the eye with little
light, users can view bright, high-contrast images on the monitor. When the camera
is used for the anterior segment, the video sequences provide details of the sclera
without the "blooming" effect from excessive brightness.
Preset configurations for the posterior
and anterior segments of the eye enable the MediLive Trio Eye video camera to deliver
images quickly and easily. This is particularly beneficial when surgeons switch
between the
2 areas of application. Individual settings can be saved and recalled
anytime. The various camera configu- rations for halogen illumination and Superlux
Eye xenon illumination can also be saved in this manner. White balance becomes unnecessary
when switching between the two types of illumination.

ESCHENBACH
Makrolux Lens
Eschenbach's Makrolux minimizes
fatigue and eyestrain.
Eschenbach's Makrolux lens minimizes fatigue and eyestrain because of its design
features. The 2.2x magnification lens is distortion-free from edge to edge, and
it is uniformly illuminated by a bright SMD-LED. The large 90-mm x 30-mm viewing
area is rectangular in shape, making it easy to navigate across lines of text, says
Eschenbach.
The forward-tilted angled lens
supports a comfortable reading position, and the width of the reading area covers
the column width of many newspapers and magazines.

VOLK OPTICAL INC.
Digital ClearField and Digital
ClearMag lenses
Volk Optical's two new lenses in its third-generation Digital Series are specifically
designed for use in binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy (BIO) examinations. The image
quality of the Digital ClearField and Digital ClearMag lenses reaches a level previously
unattainable during a BIO exam, resulting in increased general diagnostic capability
with a shorter exam time, says Volk.
The combination of magnification
and field of view offered by this lens pairing exceeds that of the industry standard
20 D BIO lens. The Digital ClearField's 2.79x image magnification and 72° field
of view deliver detailed mid and far peripheral retinal views, while the Digital
ClearMag's 3.89x image magnification and 49° field of view are optimal for
detailed optic disc and posterior pole examination.
Low-dispersion glass construction
delivers enhanced resolution, paired with an antireflective coating to reduce the
incidence of glare and reflections.
