Description

The SPOT RETINO BULB is an essential replacement component designed specifically for use with spot retinoscopes, such as the HEINE BETA 200 Retinoscope. This bulb plays a crucial role in providing the precise illumination required for accurate objective refraction measurements in ophthalmological settings.

Key Features

• XHL Xenon Halogen Technology: Delivers bright, white light for clear and uniform illumination, enhancing the visibility of the fundus reflex and facilitating the recognition of the neutralization point.
• Interchangeable Design: Allows seamless conversion between streak and spot retinoscope modes, offering versatility in clinical applications.
• Optional Orange Filter: Available to reduce patient dazzle without compromising the quality of the fundus reflex.

Innovative Design

The bulb's design accommodates larger, more powerful standard miniature lamps, positioned outside the main body of the instrument. This configuration provides increased illumination while maintaining compatibility with commercially available, cost-effective bulbs, thereby reducing maintenance expenses. The ease of bulb replacement ensures continuous operability, a vital feature for busy clinical environments.

Illumination System

• Light Diffuser: Typically crafted from ground glass, it ensures uniform illumination by eliminating highlights and shadows.
• Light Restrictor: A flat metal plate with a central opening focuses the light into a brilliant central field, ideal for retinoscopy.
• Condenser Lens: Enhances light projection in certain retinoscope versions, contributing to improved examination outcomes.

Compatibility and Construction

The SPOT RETINO BULB is compatible with hand-supported ophthalmologic instruments like retinoscopes and ophthalmoscopes. Its construction aligns with standard miniature flashlight lamp designs, making it easy to replace and maintain. The use of stock bulbs keeps maintenance costs low without altering the standard form of the instrument.

Professional Application

This bulb is indispensable for eye care professionals conducting ophthalmological examinations, including objective refraction and fundus examination, in both clinical and hospital settings. Its reliable performance and thoughtful design support the demanding needs of healthcare providers, ensuring high-quality visual assessments.
