User manual

Friendly technology at the service of iridology
In this manual, the necessary information is provided to achieve
optimal iris images in a simple way. Priority has been given to
design an intuitive and easy to use device that does not gener-
ate technical complications during the consultation. By offering a
friendly and solid technology at an affordable price, seriously
deepening into iridology now reaches a wider audience.
IRISO iriscopes value goes well beyond their great resolution
and fine detail. The innovative lighting system was designed with
photographic expertise to reveal hard to detect signs by moving
lights and shadows, using side lighting harmless to the eyes.
The simple turn of a knob changes the position of light around
the eye, following the intuitive pattern of the traditional examina-
tion with a lamp, but with the powerful resource of generating
high resolution digital images. The captured colors are accurate
thanks to the calibration procedure described in this manual and
the fineness of the CMOS sensor of the camera. The resulting
photographic files allows a deep and dynamic analysis, suitable
for later and further analysis to continue discovering hidden
signs and improving clinical monitoring.
Those eager to achieve the highest possible quality in their
images will find helpful the guidelines in the Advanced
Techniques section (page 14).
A valuable accessory is the Table Pedestal that eliminates hand-
shake and raises pictures sharpness.
Welcome to the IRISO world of high definition iris photography.

Access to batteries and memory card
Sequence to change the camera battery or
memory card:
1- disconnect the eyepiece cable (t) from the
lower controller box
2- remove the controller box, unscrewing it
from the base of the camera
3- Open and change the battery and/or
memory card as illustrated on left
Batteries in the controller box
The controller box uses two AA alkaline or
rechargeable NiMH batteries. NEVER USE
COMMON CARBON BATTERIES OR
SO-CALLED "SUPER BATTERIES", as they
can spill acid and cause damages not
covered by the warranty..
Replace or charge the AA batteries when the
green/yellow/red LED indicator (n) changes
to red. Should the battery get exhausted, a
red light flashes (k) next to the lights power
switch and the eyepiece lights (o) turn
completely off.
Power saving system
Do not confuse exhausted batteries with the
energy saving system:
- when no activity is detected, the internal light
of the eyepiece (o) turns off and a yellow LED
flashes (p), any movement reactivates it all
- past 5 minutes with the lights continuously
on, the controller case and the eyepiece will
turn off. Restart if necessary.

The milky veils also change accord-
ing to light direction, either reflecting
too brightly when directly incident
[5], or allowed to penetrate and
reveal the underneath layer when
coming sideways [6].
A complete sequence of the six
photographs (two with pairs of lights
plus four individual ones) ensures
an endless source of information for
a diagnose and later examinations,
or to document clinical cases
accurately for conferences.
Microscopic details
The enlarged view [7] on the right
comes from the previous full iris
photo. In the section "Advanced
Techniques" (page 14) several
procedures are explained that
ensure maximum sharpness to a
point where details can be appreci-
ated at an almost microscopic level
Identify the iris owner
A photo of the patient [8] can be
included in the session to identify
the iris. It also is a good record of the
general and emotional aspect of the
person, helping in the overall asses-
ment of the clinical evolution.

Lighting schemes description
The IRISO 4 LEDs side lighting is
unique among existing profes-
sional iriscopes.
Unlike frontal light, lateral lights do
not hurt while providing a finer
appreciation of fibers and textures.
Pair of opposite lights
The photo taken using both
horizontal lights [1] is the most
indicated for a basic evaluation due
to its even illumination, while the
vertical pair [2] is best to evaluate
the sclera.
Reading both images leaves no
spot hidden under lights reflections.
Individual lights: textures and
depth in details
By alternating the orientation
between the four individual LEDs
[3] [4] [5] [6], textures are
enhanced and the projected shad-
ows are moved around, providing a
finer appreciation of the reliefs and
fibers. There will always be a
position of light that penetrates
each lesion or mark better than the
others, so that among the four
texture photographs an exhaustive
reading of the iris will be possible.

Color calibration
Reprogramming the camera
Your camera comes pre-programmed and optimized for taking iris
pictures. However, this programming may be lost or altered for
various reasons. Erratic behavior and previously unknown difficul-
ties when taking iris photos are signs of programming gone wrong.
It is then necessary to follow the following steps.
t
1- Select on the mode switch button ====>
2- Turn on the camera, press the "Menu" button,
go to the Tools Tab and activate the option "Reset All"
3- Press "FUNC SET"
- Change AUTO mode "Recording Mode" to P"Program"
- ISO AUTO change to 80 or 100
- AWB = change for the symbol and proceed to perform the
color calibration described on the following page
- "My Colors Off" change to "Personal Color" and press
- Menu button> Contrast +1 / Sharpness +2 / Saturation +1> Menu
4- In "Menu", choose the Camera Tab and change only
- AF Frame = Center
- Digital Zoom = 2.0x
- Grid Lines "On" (optional)
- IS Settings / IS Mode = Off > Menu
- Date = "Date" (optional)
5- Go to the Tools Tab and change the following ones:
- Disp. Brightness = -down -1 (only 2 stripes on the left side)
- Wireless Settings see pag. 23 and help with the manual
the Canon SX620 camera to set the desired mode of
Wi-Fi transmission (the Canon Camera utility must be installed
Connect on the PC or Tablet receiving the photographs).

Additional technical information
Reviewing photographs
Pictures can be reviewed immediately on the camera's screen
and zoomed in with the zoom button to see detail in depth..
There are also some eye-catching options for displaying
images to the patients. One is to connect the camera to a TV
through a HDMI connection. Another way is be to display the
images on a PC or a Tablet connected wirelessly to the
iridoscope via Wi-Fi. Consult the Canon manual of the camera.
Free utilities are available through Canon web site
www.canon.com/icpd for downloading images over Wi-Fi or
connecting the camera to a USB port.
Resolution and compression
For highest quality it is recommended to select the larger image
size L and a fine compression quality. A 16 GB card has room
for more than 5000 images of this type.
Resize image for Iridology analysis software
IRISO irisgraphs produce excellent results using iridology
programs, but some of them may require a prior size reduction:
- display the desired picture in camera, press "Menu", select
"Resize" and then FUNC SET and choose M2 (recommended
high quality) or S (lower quality). A new file will be created,
reduced in size and fit for the software.
Direct printing
Pictures can be printed directly from the camera without need
for a computer, on a PictBridge-compatible printer and on some
Canon printers. Consult the camera and printer manuals.
15
Advanced techniques
Maximum sharpness will be acheived following these guidelines.
- Align the camera parallel to the plane of the iris, vertically and
horizontally, otherwise part of the image may be soft
- select proper light intensity according to eye color
- use a low ISO (80 or 100), never set to automatic
- when shooting, press shutter release half course to confirm
focus first, then smoothly finish to shoot (the IRISO Table Stand
eliminates shutter release vibrations)
- ask the person to view a very precise far away point with both
eyes open, thus reducing possible eyes movements
- the following multiple shots technique always increases the
sharpness when not using a Table Stand: press the "FUNC SET"
and go select the Custom Self Timer.
Selection must be renewed starting each session, programmed
values are 0 sec./ 3 shots..
Take the continuous sequence of 3
shots. Open then these photos on
screen and press the "INFO" button to
display the associated technical
information, looking among it for the
number in MB (megabytes). Of the 3
identical photographs, keep only the
image with the largest MB number,
which is be the sharpest of the lot, and
erase the other two inferior ones.

Troubleshooting tips
Repeatidly fails to focus
- check that Macro is selected ( symbol displayed on screen)
- Decrease or remove any possible zoom applied to the lens
The expected sharpness is not achieved
- ensure not to move the camera upon firing
- use the IRISO Table Stand
- ask the person to fix the sight on a precise point of the environ-
ment, with both eyes open
- make use of the Multiple Shots technique (page 14)
- consult the section "Advanced Techniques" (page 14)
The reflections of the lights come out with haloes and a
milky veil covers the image
- the lens surface was fogged. This happens when the person
expels a lot of moisture through the skin, or in a cold and humid
weather. Work quickly and separate the camera from the eye
between photos to renew the air inside the eyepiece.
The sclera comes out white showing no detail
- change the lighting selecting the pair of vertical lights
- darken the image using the camera's +/- control
Failure of individual light(s)
- fully press the plug of the eyepiece to the control box
No light in the eyepiece
- replace the batteries if charge indicator turns red or the side red
indicator flashes next to the power switch on controlling box,
- check the connection of the eyepiece to the controller box
- verify proper position of the light intensity selector switch
Failures not described
- contact IRISO, We will seek to diagnose by phone and find a
proper solution. The iriscope has a double warranty, one for the
camera by Canon, and another by IRISO covering the adaptation.
17
Maintenance
The IRISO Xpert iridoscope regular care requires only
changing batteries and cleaning the rotating eyepiece.
Rotating Eyepiece care
Clean the rubber rotating eyepiece with alcohol or medical
use disinfectant between photo sessions.
Also, at the end of each day, apply a silicone rubber solution
to the rubber eyepiece. This revives its finish, while sealing
the surface and preventing makeup from penetrating and
dulling the finish. Clean with alcohol before the next photo
session.
The rotating eyepiece can be replaced by a new one with
relative ease, contact IRISO for more information.
