Non-Mydriatic Camera
Canon USA Installs Newest Non-Mydriatic Digital Retinal Camera at Rochester Clinic
Introduced in April, the CR-1 Non-Mydriatic Digital Retinal Camera features a redesigned optical system that achieves extremely detailed, high-resolution diagnostic images of the retina, enabling a full 45-degree view angle to help the eyecare professional detect and monitor ocular conditions. When attached to a Canon EOS 40D Digital SLR Camera (sold separately), which provides up to 10.1 million pixels resolution, the CR-1 Non-Mydriatic Digital Retinal Camera is capable of delivering clear and detailed diagnostic images for virtually immediate review.
"Canon has remained a leading provider of total digital imaging and workflow management solutions for eyecare professionals since developing the world's first non-mydriatic retinal camera in 1976," said Tsuneo Imai, senior director and general manager, Canon Medical Systems Division, Canon U.S.A. "Canon's latest advancement, the CR-1 Non-Mydriatic Digital Retinal Camera, will help enhance eye exam efficiency by providing outstanding digital imaging technology to Rochester Family Eye Clinic."
The CR-1 integrates advanced specifications into an ergonomic unit, all of which have been designed for improved ease of use and comfort in a streamlined form. One-hand joystick operation and an illuminated operation panel enable easy one-handed operation in darkened rooms, while a shorter working distance allows closer interaction with the patient and easy access to the patient's eyes.
The Canon CR-1 Digital Retinal Camera is available through authorized Canon dealers.
