ZEISS CLARUS 700 Ultra-Widefield Fundus Camera

Core Technology:

Built on ZEISS optics, the CLARUS 700 utilizes advanced LED illumination technology with red LED (585-840 nm wavelength), green LED (500-585 nm), and blue LED (435-500 nm) to provide natural-looking fundus photographs as they appear through direct observation. The platform provides color-accurate image analyses in high resolution with an accuracy of up to 7.3 µm.

Key Technical Features:

Ultra-Widefield Imaging:

• Field of View: Captures ultra-widefield images providing comprehensive retinal visualization

• Resolution: High-resolution imaging down to 7.3 microns for detailed assessment

• True Color: Natural color representation matching direct clinical observation

• Image Processing: Lash and lid artifacts are removed via algorithmic adjustment, providing cleaner images for assessment

Multiple Imaging Modalities:

• Color Fundus Photography: True-color fundus images with natural appearance

• Fundus Autofluorescence (FAF): Both FAF blue and FAF green imaging capabilities

• Infrared (IR) Imaging: Enhanced visualization of deeper retinal structures

• External Photography: Anterior segment and external eye documentation

• Stereo Imaging: Three-dimensional assessment capabilities

Clinical Applications:

Diabetic Retinopathy Assessment: Ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography is particularly useful for identifying diabetic retinopathy, especially visualizing the peripheral retina which is fundamental to assess nonperfused areas, vascular leakage, microvascular abnormalities, and neovascularizations. With ultra-widefield imaging and high-resolution FA, the smallest details from optic nerve head to the periphery can be captured in early phases.

Comprehensive Retinal Evaluation: The system enables doctors to detect even the smallest changes during disease progression, making it valuable for monitoring various retinal pathologies including:

• Retinal vascular diseases

• Macular pathologies

• Optic nerve disorders

• Peripheral retinal abnormalities

• Retinal degenerations

Advanced Features:

• Multimodal Imaging: Integration of multiple imaging modalities in a single platform

• High-Resolution Fluorescein Angiography: Detailed vascular assessment capabilities

• Algorithmic Enhancement: Automated image processing for optimal image quality

• Comprehensive Documentation: Complete retinal assessment from central to peripheral regions

The ZEISS CLARUS 700 represents a significant advancement in retinal imaging technology, combining ultra-widefield capabilities with true-color accuracy and multiple imaging modalities, making it an essential tool for comprehensive retinal assessment and disease monitoring in modern ophthalmology practice
