Details of the main features
1. Contribute to reliable diagnosis by achieving high image quality.
"VISERA S" has improved color reproducibility and depth compared to Olympus' conventional models, and is designed to display fine vascular structures with a clear NBI observation mode that minimizes noise. The improvement in color reproducibility and LED light source enhances the contrast and visibility of blood vessels and mucosa, contributing to more precise observations and detection of lesion areas.
2. Integrated video system and stroboscopic light source to improve operability and diagnostic accuracy.
This product has integrated a video system and a stroboscopic observation light source. This enables switching between white light observation and stroboscopic observation with the touch of a button, contributing to improved operability and diagnostic accuracy.
With support for HD camera heads, it enables precise inspections.
VISERA S is also compatible with Olympus' HD camera heads, enhancing equipment compatibility in medical institutions and contributing to achieving precise inspections for various patients and cases.
By improving the inspection record storage function, it supports efficient follow-up of patients.
While conventional Olympus models could only save still images, VISERA S allows for high-quality still image storage and video recording, enabling clearer records and supporting comprehensive report creation. This aims to streamline patient follow-up processes such as diagnosis and postoperative observations.
