"One picture is worth more than a thousand words"
Almost every dental microscope available on the market can be connected to external devices displaying or archiving images. To do this you need a so-called video track connected to the microscope.
Video track is an optical system that allows the transfer of the image that the microscope operator sees to external devices (such as a monitor, television, computer).
The image can be transmitted "live" (the condition is the use of imaging devices with live view function), or archived on the memory card, or computer disk or more and more popular tablet.
The elements of video track
- Beamsplitter
Located between the head and the binocular of the microscope. Beamsplitter is equipped with a series of lenses and prisms which are responsible for dividing an image that goes simultaneously to the operator's eyes and on the external device.
Depending on the type of beamsplitter there may be connected two or one imaging device.
Beamsplitter is also available in the integrated form with binocular extender, so that the weight of the microscope head is not unnecessarily increased, and thus the head of the microscope is maneuvering easier. - Optical adapter
The adapter allows you to connect the imaging receiver to the beamsplitter. Depending on the imaging receiver (device, camera, etc.) and its fastening, there are different dedicated adapters. Adapters are available for most cameras on the market. - Imaging device
The construction of the video track allows the use of multiple types of receivers. Imaging device may include: a CCD camera, Handycam camcorder or SLR / DSLR camera type.
The recommended solution is to use in the video track the Sony NEX compact camera that provides high quality PHOTO and VIDEO while maintaining a small size and weight of the device itself. With built in function "live view" and the transmission of HDMI digital video, high quality video is also available in real time at an additional monitor.

The use of video track
- Full patient information
Taking pictures / video of performed procedures, is useful for the presentation of the later treatment plan to the patient or explain its' course. Such documentation allows to explain and illustrate the necessity of often costly procedures. Irreplaceable in situations of conflict, particularly if you need to submit it to insurance companies.
- Help for assistant
The image displayed "live" on the secondary monitor is indispensable aid to assistant (and thus also for the dentist), which can itself take appropriate action quickly which greatly affects the dentist ergonomics.
- Marketing factor
The image which appears on the monitor gives the patient the opportunity to observe the treatment. This is one of the ways to increase the prestige of the office.
- Education
Documentation of cases is useful in educational activities during multimedia presentations, scientific papers, articles. Good quality pictures are particularly relevant in printed publications.
