LUMERA MICROSCOPE RESCAN SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

OCT SCANNING RESCAN

· Must be able to scan at 27,000 A-scans/second and 27 frames a second or faster

· Axial Resolution must be at able to get down to 5.5 microns or lower

· Must be fully integrated, everything is internal:

· No external cables, no additional stack height added, no additional cameras

· Staff or Surgeon must have ability to have full control of Zeiss Rescan OCT functionality.

· Staff thru Callisto Screen or surgeon.

· Surgeon thru foot pedal for all surgeries.

· OCT Scanning must be able to provide images in Black and White or full Color Scanning

· OCT Scanning must have ability to offer 3 different scan types, those are the following

· 2 Line Cube (horizontal and vertical scam simultaneously

· 5 Line Raster Scan

· 1 Line scan.

· OCT Scans must be rotatable by 360 Degrees

· OCT scanning and images must be able to be adjusted length of scan down to 3mm for supreme image and magnification and increase to 16mm

LUMERA MICROSCOPE OPTIONS

· Assistant Binoculars must be able to view at 180 degree

· Microscope must have all the following lighting options: LED, Halogen, Xenon. Xenon lasts longer than Halogen, and Xenon is preferred by surgeons at this time. All RESCAN systems come equipped with dual illumination (LED and Xenon)

· Surgeon must have field of view options of down to 60 degrees and up to 128 degrees. 60 degree field of field of view, for greater magnification, which provides much greater detail and resolution for focal point of viewing for the surgeon

· Must allow for surgeon to direct focus via both foot pedal, or via hand by knob on the ReSight,

· Must have 2 focusing options.

· Surgical microscope must feature apochromatic optics throughout the entire visual pathway to eliminate spherical and chromatic aberrations.

· The surgical microscope must feature a stereo coaxial illumination (e.g., zero-degree illumination where the light is piped directly along the visual light path) for a brilliant, high-contrast and homogenous red reflex for optimal anterior segment visualization.

· The surgical microscope must be offer an integrated assistant's microscope with motorized zoom and focus that can be configured to be linked or adjusted independently of the main observer.

· The surgical microscope must offer an tiltable binocular tube that has optical inverters (manual or motorized available) integrated to enable image inversion without a 2-piece inverter and binocular tube setup for lower “stack height.”

· Must be equipped with a binocular tube with motorized inverters and a non-contact fundus viewing system, the surgical microscope can be configured such that activation of the fundus viewing system automatically results in activation of the inverters and any affiliated user profile settings (light intensity, starting zoom and focus values, etc.) to speed transitioning between microscope setups optimal for anterior and posterior segment visualization equipped with Zero to 180-degree views.

ZEISS CALLISTO EYE

· Must have ability to add function of receiving IOL Master 700 data for Marker less Cataract Surgery for TORIC IOL Patients.

· Enhanced scan quality thru digital image processing

· Eye Tracking which will allow scan to lock onto selected anatomy and move with eye as it is manipulated during surgery

· Will allow the OCT functionality and Marker-less surgical navigation through Callisto eye to be available on the same microscope
