HEINE BETA X ophthalmoscope by HEINE Optotechnik
Lighter, more ergonomic, and full of innovations: The HEINE BETA X ophthalmoscope has been newly developed based on 80 years of experience.
It features the innovative aspherical optical system AOS+, which ensures maximum clarity when viewing the fundus. The focusCONTROL function allows quick and easy switching of focus at the push of a button, from the fundus to the anterior segment of the eye.
Its robust aluminum frame forms the core of the BETA X series. Combined with high-impact housing components and premium-quality parts, this results in an exceptionally lightweight instrument with precise balance.
Product details
- AOS+ aspherical optical system:
- Separation of illumination and observation beams reduces corneal reflections
- Ideal for children, small pupils, and non-dilated patients
- U-shaped mirror enables comprehensive fundus view without vignetting
- LEDHQ illumination for uniform, bright lighting with true color rendering and high contrast
- Excellent refraction compensation for precise focusing in 74 diopter steps
- Particularly suitable for red reflex testing (Brückner test)
- focusCONTROL switching function:
- Focus on anterior eye segment (C: cornea) and posterior segment (F: fundus)
- Examination with slit illumination and magnification without additional instruments
- Usable with all apertures
- Improved assessment of iris and lens
- Simplified detection of erosions and edematous areas
- 7 different apertures:
- Including MicroSpot and Hemispot
- Also usable with red-free and polarization filters
- Swiveling polarization filter:
- With polarization: reduces corneal reflections and stray light
- Without polarization: macular reflex and arteriolar light reflex clearly visible
- Smart brightness control with microprocessor:
- Easy thumb operation
- Continuously dimmable from 1 to 100%
- Always starts at the last used brightness level
- Smart power supply:
- For USB-C cable or optional HEINE CS1 charging station
- With charge indicator and automatic shut-off
- Durable and suitable for daily use:
- Solid integrated aluminum frame embedding the optical components
- Robust housing made of thermoformed material
- Scratch-resistant viewing window made of hardened glass
- Dustproof optical system design
- smoothSURFACE:
- Smooth surface and recessed USB-C port for hygienic wipe disinfection
- Extended battery runtime and virtually unlimited LEDHQ service life
