Used Specular Microscope in Florida, USA

Overview

A specular microscope is a specialized ophthalmic imaging device that captures high-resolution images of the corneal endothelium to evaluate cell density, size, shape and overall health.

Buyers look for image quality, calibration, software compatibility and service history when selecting new or used units.
