rapid screening easy; all operations can be
carried out with the simple touch of a button.
9 POINTS INTERNAL FIXATION
The nonmydα-DⅢ has two fixation modes that provide
up to 9 fixation positions, "Normal" and "Mosaic".
The "Mosaic mode" provides 9 fixation points for a panorama
image covering a retinal area of approximately 85 degrees
when using the "montage" application integrated in the digital
imaging system. When using the "Normal mode" three
positions are selectable Central, Disc and Macula.
The camera can be used with either a desktop or notebook
computer with the Kowa Portable VK-2 digital imaging system.
Regardless of the volume of photographs taken, the nonmydα
-DⅢ & Kowa Portable VK-2 lets you store, restore and
compare data with ease. Shoot and forget allows easy image
storage and automatic image saving.

images can be output to every electric medical records of any
manufacturers through the network, not to mention by connecting
to the image filing system Kowa VK-2.
Optical variable 2 angles
Field of view can be switched between 45°/27° in
non-mydriatic mode or between 50°/30° in mydriatic
mode by a simple pressing of a button.

Fundus can be observed through
the optical viewfinder.
In mydriatic mode, the fundus can be observed through the optical
viewfinder, allowing photography of images exactly as viewed. This
feature is particularly helpful for photographing peripheral part of the
retina.

VX-20, simple operation with various useful features,
supporting smooth daily medical practices!
Focusing on design for operability
Design:Chin rest
Eye level indication can be easily seen even in the darkroom.
Stable chassis that makes it easy to assist in eyelid opening.
Only usable switch buttons are illuminated according to
each photography mode, enabling smooth and quick
photography even in the darkroom. Moving chin rest
up/down and switching field of view are electrically
performed, that can be operated at hand.
SP (Small Pupil) photography mode
In mydriatic mode, either φ3.5mm or φ4.0mm
can be selected. In non-mydriatic mode,
φ3.5mm is available.
* The SP mode is not supported in RF mode.
* With φ3.5mm photography, some eyes may cause a flare around
their circumference.
Photography with φ4.0mm
Design:Tilt angle
The downward tilt angle has been
expansion to 11 degrees.
Thus, facilitating upward-angle shoots, which have
been difficult with the conventional models.
* As with compared to our previous models.

Custom buttons
Photographic sensitivity, diaphragm, and photographic intensity can be set by the user.
Depending on the patient, photographic settings can be easily adjusted with simple
operations, for example, by increasing the sensitivity to allow patient-friendly photography or
to compensate the insufficient light intensity for the FA later phase.
Photography with monitor observation
In mydriatic color, FA, RF, and FAF modes, photography under the monitor observation that
can reduce the photophobia of the patient is also possible, in addition to the normal
viewfinder observation.
