SPECTRALIS®

DiagnosticOCT Imaging

Multimodal imaging platform for the posterior segment: SD-OCT, cSLO, angiography and more, with TruTrack eye tracking.

SPECTRALIS combines confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO), high-resolution spectral-domain OCT and patented real-time image processing for outstanding image quality and reproducibility. It is modular and upgradeable: start with OCT, then add autofluorescence, MultiColor, FA/ICGA, OCT angiography, widefield, glaucoma and anterior segment modules as the practice grows, keeping all patient data for follow-up.

Key features

  1. 01

    TruTrack Active Eye Tracking

    A second laser actively tracks the fundus during OCT scanning, freezing the retina even if the patient blinks or moves. Often imitated, never duplicated.

  2. 02

    Reliable follow-up

    AutoRescan places follow-up scans in exactly the same anatomic location, so real change can be told apart from noise. Up to 100 B-scans are averaged live.

  3. 03

    SHIFT: three scan speeds

    125 kHz for up to 30% faster OCT angiography, 85 kHz for balanced everyday imaging, and 20 kHz for high sensitivity in eyes with media opacities.

  4. 04

    True multimodal imaging

    Infrared, blue reflectance, BluePeak autofluorescence, MultiColor, FA, ICGA and OCTA (5.7 µm lateral resolution) on one device, with no moving the patient between rooms.

  5. 05

    Glaucoma Module Premium Edition

    Personalized analysis of the optic nerve head, RNFL and macular ganglion cells using the Anatomic Positioning System, with the Hood Glaucoma Report at a glance.

  6. 06

    Future-proof investment

    Many modules can be added later without buying a new device, preserving patient data. The Flex Module images patients lying down or unable to use a headrest.
