- Description
- A Camera Head specifically designed to work with a medical processor. It has Continuous Auto Focus (CAF), which automatically tracks the target object and keeps it in focus without the need to rely on manual adjustment. Extended Depth Of Field (EDOF) expands the range of the surgical viewing area without compromising resolution and brightness, promoting accurate diagnosis and precise treatment. The EDOF technology addresses traditional camera head challenges such as out-of-focus and blurry/distorted images, by proving a deeper depth of focused field and clearer view of the anatomy. The Camera head provides an ultra-clear image capture, and is designed for precision. It offers consistent colour accuracy and detail, ensuring optimal visualisation in the Operating Room. This item has been specifically designed to work with a medical processor.
