Advanced Imaging Capabilities

EOS Camera Technology

The CR-2 AF uses Canon’s EOS digital camera technology, with custom firmware and a 20+ megapixel sensor, specifically adapted for ophthalmic imaging. This enables:

• Infrared observation

• High-resolution color fundus photography

• Digital Red-Free and Cobalt imaging for enhanced diagnostic accuracy

High-Resolution Retinal Imaging

The CR-2 captures detailed retinal structures with a minimum pupil diameter of 4.0 mm (3.3 mm in Small Pupil mode). These high-quality images help detect and monitor ocular conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

2X Digital Zoom

Beyond the standard 45° field, a 2X digital magnification allows clinicians to focus on specific retinal areas, revealing intricate details for precise diagnosis.

Patient Comfort and Efficient Workflow

Low Flash Mode

The CR-2 AF uses ultra-low LED flash intensity to minimize pupil constriction and patient discomfort. This allows:

• Faster sequential imaging of both eyes

• Stereo photography with reduced patient movement

• Quick examinations for patients who take longer to adapt to dilation

Auto Exposure

Automatic adjustment of flash and observation light ensures consistently high-quality images, while manual control remains available for specialized examinations.

Stereo and Anterior Photography Modes

• Stereo mode: Software-guided alignment for creating stereo pairs effortlessly

• Anterior mode: Quick and accurate imaging of anterior segment using an additional compensator lens

LED Technology and Ergonomic Design

The CR-2 AF replaces traditional flash tubes with white and infrared LEDs, providing soft illumination, greater reliability, and longer device lifespan. Its ergonomic design ensures ease of use:

• Multifunctional joystick for simple mode changes

• Intuitive control dial for focus adjustment

• Compact, portable design suitable for clinics and mobile use

Software and Connectivity

Bundled with Canon Retinal Imaging Control Software (RICS), the CR-2 AF provides:

• Full camera control and image optimization

• Diagnostic tools including cup/disc ratio calculation, RGB channel display, and stereo viewing

• Seamless DICOM compliance for network integration

• Compatibility with Sunix and Optomate interfaces

Clinical Applications

The Canon CR-2 AF is suitable for:

• Comprehensive retinal screening in ophthalmology practices

• Detection and monitoring of diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and macular degeneration

• Pediatric and adult eye care

• Mobile or compact clinical setups requiring high-quality imaging
