VITOM® HD
A new paradigm in extracorporeal visualization
designed for research and experimental microsurgery and micro-dissection
Press Release
GOLETA, CA – January 2011 OPTRONICS a leading developer of
high definition microimaging systems for research and surgical
imaging applications has released the VITOM® HD System a new paradigm
in extracorporeal visualization 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 visualization system designed for many
research applications that are traditionally performed using other means of visualization.
VITOM® HD is an exoscope using extracorporeal magnification and full 1920x1080
imaging technology
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 fiber 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 visualization.
The VITOM® HD System uses full 1920x1080 imaging technology to create an immersive visualization,
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 fiber 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
visualization 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 300 watt xenon illuminators
to HD recording appliances are available from OPTRONICS.
