Do you want to illuminate smarter, not just brighter? Meet Elara 900.

Outdated light sources shouldn't limit the clarity of your examination. The Elara 900 features a revolutionary projector light source ("P-Type") that emits colors across the entire visible spectrum.

This means you can:

• Precisely select color temperatures tailored to individual pathologies.

• Utilize more illumination modes than systems with only traditional LED or halogen lighting.

The result is a high-resolution, high-contrast examination that dramatically aids in the examination of ocular structures. Plus, with customizable presets, your workflow just got a whole lot smoother. Stop squinting, start seeing the difference.
