The routine of ophthalmologists can be quite varied, since in the specialty there is a clinical and surgical part. However, both require a common point: the adoption of technology. As the eye is a very complex and delicate structure, more and more modern devices are needed to diagnose and treat the most diverse pathologies.

What is the Tomey EM-4000 specular microscope?

The Tomey EM-4000 is a specular microscope, that is, it performs the analysis of the corneal endothelium. In addition, it also has the function of pachymetry, which measures the thickness of the cornea.

In general, the Corneal Specular Microscopy exam allows the ophthalmologist to analyze the appearance of the cornea, as well as to count the endothelial cells of this structure. Therefore, it is possible to identify degenerations or atrophies in the tissue.

Corneal pachymetry is useful in cases of suspected glaucoma or corneal edema, for example. In addition, this test is widely used to select patients who are candidates for surgery to correct refractive errors. After all, the thin cornea is one of the contraindications for performing corrective surgery.

What are its functions?

See the features of the Tomey EM-4000 specular microscope and how they can be interesting for the service offered by your office or clinic. Read on!

Has good range of capture and area analysis

The capture area is wide, which allows a detailed observation of the observed region. Thus, the endothelium is easily seen in a large area of the cornea.

O microscópio também possibilita uma ampla gama de posições de captura. Simultaneamente, pode ser feita a paquimetria ou espessura central da córnea, o que diminui o tempo de exame tanto para o examinador quanto para o paciente.

It's fast and effective

When the patient fixes his gaze on a point of light, it is possible to capture images quickly, reducing the examination time and discomfort. In addition, the capture errors have been reduced in the Tomey EM-4000 and, therefore, the ophthalmologist has images with more definition at his disposal. The device automatically selects the best quality image of the structures of the eyeball to be displayed, but it is also possible to select the others for analysis.

This specular microscope is very simple to use by any user, which makes its handling fast. This is an important characteristic, as it represents time savings for the clinic. In large volume exams, such as corneal specular microscopy, it is possible to notice the difference in the dynamics of the time spent to perform them.

Performs the analysis of the dark area

The dark areas can be identified automatically by the microscope, which is very interesting. Since, thus, the quantitative analysis of parts that have lesions or atrophies in the corneal endothelium is performed.

If necessary, the Tomey EM-4000 can also exclude analysis of the dark area of the result. In addition, the device calculates and displays the dark area ratio, making it an interesting resource for checking disease progression.

Has a database function

The database function is provided on the main unit, and information of approximately 18,000 pairs of eyes can be stored on the device's SD card.

The interesting thing is that two data or images can be displayed simultaneously, which allows the ophthalmologist to compare the before and after surgery of the same patient.

It's modern

The device's large monitor is intuitive and easy to handle. In addition, the screen is completely touch-screen, facilitating the doctor's work during the procedure or examination.

The Tomey EM-4000 specular microscope also has a compact thermal printer and the option to export a report to a computer. The latter function is very useful, since, in the routine of the clinics, it is necessary to send the reports by e-mail to the patients or to print them.

Why buy this device?

Invest in technology it is undoubtedly essential for a successful business. The ophthalmology market increasingly requires sophisticated and modern equipment in order to diagnose and treat patients more effectively and also more quickly. Therefore, this is an important resource to prevent the progression of diseases and injuries.

The Tomey EM-4000 microscope has excellent value for money, being a great investment to modernize the doctor's office or ophthalmology clinic. After all, the financial return will be greater. This is because there is an improvement in service time, as well as quality and safety. As the images are of great resolution, it is difficult to leave a diagnosis behind or to miss it.

This equipment also presents a good solution, since it is possible to send the reports to the computer, which reduces the need to print the report and facilitates its storage, avoiding the loss of exams.

Another advantage of investing in this microscope is the possibility of keeping the patient's history in the database of the device itself, which allows the ophthalmologist to compare previous exams and the progression of the disease, as well as the results of the proposed treatments.
