A New Paradigm in Ergonomic Research Visualisation, Imaging and Documentation
May 05 2011
Optronics has released the VITOM HD System - a new paradigm in extracorporeal visualisation designed for research and experimental microsurgery and micro-dissection. The VITOM HD System is a Karl Storz optical instrument coupled with a 1080p full high definition camera system that creates an elegant yet sophisticated ergonomic high definition research visualisation system designed for many research applications that are traditionally performed using other means of visualisation. The precision crafted optics of the Karl Storz VITOM System incorporates the world-renowned HOPKINS® II rod-lens system. This system uses a combination of rod lenses with multi-layered anti-reflective coatings and integrated fibre optics that create an unsurpassed viewing experience through efficient light transmission. The optical design increases working distance to 25cm-60cm and depth of field up to 6cm, which surpasses traditional surgical and stereo microscopes.
Traditional micro-dissection or experimental surgical procedures require the investigator to use the oculars of a stereo or surgical microscope for visualisation. The VITOM HD System uses full 1920x1080 imaging technology to create an immersive visualisation, documentation and teaching experience improving the workflow throughout laboratory environments.
VITOM HD is meticulously crafted using stainless steel components that are corrosion resistant and autoklavable for sterile applications. The elegant lightweight design with integrated fibre optic illumination makes the instrument highly maneuverable and user friendly. “It’s a microscopic design incorporating endoscopic technology with all of the benefits associated with infinite visualisation angles not found using a traditional microscope it’s an ergonomically correct user friendly system,” stated Norbert Schuster, Marketing Manager for the VITOM HD System. The VITOM HD System is compatible with the Karl Storz H3Z HD camera or the Optronics Microcast HD line of research digital microscope cameras incorporating fixed focal length or zoom optics. A comprehensive line of imaging accessories that range from 300watt xenon illuminators to HD recording appliances are available from Optronics.
