Apparatus for examination and photography of corneal endothelium - has three optical systems for illuminating cornea and processing reflections for image forming and automatic photography.

摘要

An apparatus for examining and photographing the corneal endothelium membrane of the eye (E) incorporates three separate optical systems (1,28,29). System (28) projects a light beam from the source (30,32) for illuminating a specific area of the cornea (c); system (29) receives the reflected light for the purposes of examination and photography; system (1) enables the examination of a frontal segment of the eye (E) when illuminated by a light source (7). The optical paths are routed via lenses and semi-reflective mirrors to generate a monitor image (25,25') and photographic exposure is automatically triggered by the sensor (47) and controller (32'). USE/ADVANTAGE - Affords a means of ocular examination which incorporates automatic photography and reduces need for highly skilled operators. Duration of examination is reduced and procedure is less taxing for patient.
