Description

Condition & Warranty

Used. This Carl Zeiss Clarus 500 Ultra-Widefield Fundus Camera has been fully tested and is in excellent working order. The specialized ultra-widefield optical system captures pristine, high-resolution retinal images out to the far periphery, the internal filter wheel shifts smoothly across all modalities (including FAF), and the upgraded Windows 10 system handles dense data imaging swiftly and securely. The unit shows minimal signs of cosmetic usage as expected for premium used clinical instruments. Carefully tested before shipping. Covered by a 90-day warranty on parts and workmanship.

Carl Zeiss Clarus 500 Ultra-Widefield Retinal Camera — Used with FAF & Windows 10

The Carl Zeiss Clarus 500 is an industry-leading, next-generation ultra-widefield (UWF) retinal camera designed to capture exceptionally clear, True Color images of the fundus from the macula to the far periphery. This premium unit comes configured on a modern Windows 10 platform for enhanced clinic cybersecurity, fast networking capabilities, and smoother EMR integration. Utilizing advanced Broad Line Fundus Imaging (BLFI) and partial coherence technology, the Clarus 500 delivers remarkable high-resolution clarity down to 7 micrometers, allowing clinicians to zoom in on peripheral lesions without sacrificing structural detail.

This comprehensive configuration features advanced Fundus Autofluorescence (FAF-Blue and FAF-Green) imaging modes. FAF allows clinicians to map metabolic changes in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), providing a non-invasive way to track dry age-related macular degeneration, geographic atrophy, and inherited retinal dystrophies. By eliminating the peripheral color distortions common in legacy widefield systems, this used Clarus 500 represents the pinnacle of multi-modal retinal documentation for progressive eyecare practices.

Research published in the National Library of Medicine highlights that ultra-widefield retinal imaging combined with fundus autofluorescence significantly increases the detection rate of peripheral retinal tears, diabetic microvascular drops, and localized RPE defects that are frequently missed by standard 45-degree fundus cameras.

Why Practices Choose the Carl Zeiss Clarus 500

• True Color Ultra-Widefield Capture — Generates natural, true-to-life color images of the retina up to 200 degrees when utilizing integrated montage software

• Fundus Autofluorescence (FAF-Blue & FAF-Green) — Evaluates RPE health non-invasively, providing critical structural data for managing geographic atrophy and macular dystrophies

• Uncompromised 7 µm Resolution — Delivers elite optical resolution across the entire widefield view, ensuring fine details like microaneurysms remain perfectly sharp under high magnification

• Windows 10 System Stability — Upgraded operating system offers seamless EMR integration, reliable diagnostic database compliance, and fast data rendering speeds

• Patient-Friendly Ergonomics — Unique chinrest and forehead design allows the camera head to move smoothly around the patient, maintaining a comfortable, non-intimidating exam posture

• Multi-Modal Imaging Workstation — Captures True Color, Red-Free, Infrared (IR), FAF, and external eye photographs on a single digital interface

• Small Pupil Optimization — Advanced optical components allow for reliable widefield captures through small, non-mydriatic pupils down to 3.2 mm

Clinical Applications

• Peripheral Retina Evaluation identifying and tracking peripheral lattice degeneration, retinal tears, localized detachments, and nevus boundaries

• Advanced Glaucoma and ONH Tracking utilizing ultra-high-definition color and infrared maps to inspect nerve fiber layer loss and cup-to-disc structural details

• Diabetic Retinopathy Grading providing full-view peripheral documentation to catch early neovascularization and microvascular dropouts outside the standard arcade

• Macular Degeneration Progression Mapping leveraging FAF-Blue and FAF-Green to accurately track hyper/hypo-autofluorescent areas indicating geographic atrophy expansion

Who This Is For

• Retina Specialists and Vitreoretinal Surgeons requiring pristine, high-resolution peripheral views alongside multi-modal FAF tracking for complex medical retina cases

• High-Volume Comprehensive Eye Centers seeking a premier, multi-modal screening platform that can capture advanced data without shifting patients across multiple rooms

• Modern Multi-Doctor Clinics looking to replace legacy widefield systems with a color-accurate, Windows 10 compliant imaging platform
