The NIDEK Specular Microscope CEM-530 provides non-contact, high magnification image capture of endothelium enabling observation of the size and shape of cells. Information such as the number of endothelial cells, cell density, and cell area is analyzed through the captured images. The captured images and analysis results of endothelium are used for intraocular or corneal surgery, postoperative follow-up, and corneal observation such as for endothelial disorders or the corneal state of patients who wear extended-wear contact lenses. Observation is possible in the central area (visual angle: 5°) and peripheral area (visual angle: 27°) using a periphery capture function as well as in the center of the cornea. The captured images and analysis results can be printed on the built-in printer or optional video printer, or output to an external device over LAN connection.
A mains electricity (AC-powered), ophthalmic, device that uses optics to measure the thickness of the cornea. Using optical low coherence reflectometry (OLCR) this device can possibly measure corneal thicknesses to a precision of one micron without having to make contact with the eye surface and no contact fluids are required, nor will it induce any indentation. This device, also known as a pachometer, will provide data that is used to evaluate the results of eye surgery, e.g., laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) treatment, monitor epithelium regrowth and other for ophthalmic needs.
