Surgical Microscope for Crisper, Optimally Illuminated Images of the Entire Mouth
Carl Zeiss is presenting the latest version of OPMI pico at the 2013 Annual Session of the American Association of Endodontists (AAE) in Honolulu
Dublin, Calif. & Jena, Germany--With the new features for OPMI pico that the Medical Technology business group of Carl Zeiss is presenting at the AAE, dentists gain a considerably better overview and improved orientation during a procedure without having to constantly realign the surgical microscope. The integrated, virtually maintenance-free LED illumination enables nearly shadow-free vision with daylight quality.
Varioskop for a larger field of view and more flexibility
The new version of the S100 / OPMI pico is the first in its class to feature a manual Varioskop®. This lens enables dentists to focus over a range of 120 millimeters. “With this system, we are giving our customers the benefits of a large surgical microscope in the mid-price range: large field of view and much better focus," states Dr. Ludwin Monz, President and CEO of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG.
The Varioskop offers two key benefits: the large field of view easily visualizes the entire mouth which enables dentists to gain a better overview and improved orientation in the oral cavity. The focusing mechanism allows you to capture the whole mouth in the vertical axis without moving OPMI® pico. In restorative dentistry, this enables visualization of the entire oral cavity – from the front teeth to the molars.
LED illumination with daylight quality and long service life
OPMI pico is equipped with a long-life LED illumination system that illuminates the mouth virtually shadow free and in daylight quality. Dentists are therefore able to see details in their natural colors and can better differentiate different types of tissue.
Simple treatment documentation with HD-quality video camera
The treatment can be recorded and documented via the integrated HD video camera on OPMI pico. The video camera records the treatment in HD quality and natural color rendition. With this system, practice employees can monitor procedures, patients can be informed in detail about their dental operations and presentations at conferences can be enhanced.
An integrated camera, the LED illumination and a Varioskop can be retrofitted to existing OPMI pico systems.
