The NIDEK ConfoScan 4 is the only instrument that combines confocal microscopy, endothelial microscopy and accurate pachymetry in one compact unit– Seeing is Believing!

Confoscan 4 is a unique and state-of-the-art diagnostic instrument that combines a Confocal Microscope, a Non-Contact Endothelial Microscope and a precision Pachymeter – all technologies in one innovative and compact unit.

The CS4 is the first Confocal Microscopy Based Pachymeter able to do full thickness cornea measurements and to localise any intra-corneal hazes. It is also the first fully automated non-contact confocal endothelial microscope that is not affected by corneal hazes.
Features & Benefits
High Precision - fully automated alignment and scan time is optimised (350 images in ~ 15 sec/exam), minimum patient co-operation is required, no contact examinations can be performed, assuring high patient comfort, nine internal fixation targets help the patient keep the stability of fixation thus increasing the performance of the device, adding the possibility to store and analyse automatically different corneal areas.

Full Cornea Scan - fully automatic, semi automatic or manual mode and customisable exams are available with the possibility to choose the corneal layers to be scanned. CS4 gives the user the possibility to recognise the early findings of any corneal disease for pre-surgery check and post-surgery follow up.

Opacity Error Free - thanks to the confocal principle now the corneal opacities don’t represent a problem for endothelial microscopy and pachymetry. High quality imaging through corneal haze and opacities even with the non-contact endothelial microscopy functionality. The new Z-Ring increases the stability of the exam and the reliability of the Z-Scan reference for accurate full thickness optical pachymetry; CS4 in this way has the unique ability to define with high precision the position of any corneal structure and opacity, in terms of corneal layers involved, with respect to the endothelium and epithelium.

Extra Large Management Areas - with the new 20x probe it is possible to image a wide field of view counting up to 1000 cells per exam. The automatic endothelial analysis is reliable, thanks to the high number of cells counted, displaying the density plus polimegathism and pleomorphism indexes, giving more objective data for medical assessments.
