Retinal Camera KOWA VX-10α

RETINAL CAMERA Inquiry About this product

Kowa presents the VX-10α, two-in-one mydriatic and non-mydriatic camera.

Highly effective and ergonomically designed, the VX-10 is the ideal tool for eye-care photography.

Kowa is the pioneer in combination non-mydriatic & mydriatic retinal cameras. The VX-10α offers non-mydriatic, mydriatic, and FA modes with a 50° field of view in full mydriatic mode. The optics are mounted on a swing arm to allow photography of the peripheral retina. Small pupil mode enables both color and FA photography in cases of insufficient mydriasis. View color and FA images captured with the latest Nikon cameraback in perfect alignment on the LCD monitor.
