OLYMPUS has launched the Visera 4K UHD system across the UK. Surgeons will benefit from particularly sharp images thanks to integration of 4K Ultra HD technology.
The system delivers images in 4K resolution (4096 x 2180 pixels) and Ultra HD (UHD) with 3840 x 2160 pixels, providing four times more image information than Full HD. The Sony Exmor R CMOS image sensor in the camera head of the Visera 4K UHD produces detailed, low-noise images. The one-touch autofocus feature delivers sharp pictures on the surgeon’s screen at the push of a button.
4K and UHD provide surgeons with finer colour calibration possibilities by broadening the range of colour reproduction compared by a factor of 64 to predecessor models featuring Full HD technology. An enlarged colour spectrum encompassing around one billion colours is now reality. The system improves the visibility of edges and fine details of delicate tissue, such as blood and lymphatic vessels and nerves. Above all, the richer reproduction of reds assists surgeons in ensuring that incisions are even more accurate.
