INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the TOPCON SP-3000P Specular Microscope.
This instrument is used to photograph and evaluate the corneal endothelium.
This instrument has the following features:
•Photography of the corneal endothelium and the measurement of the corneal thick-
ness can be performed at the same time.
•The auto-alignment function ensures quick and easy centering and measurement.
•Simplified cell analysis enables the user to easily understand the rough value of the
cell density.
This manual outlines the SP-3000P Specular Microscope, its operating procedures,
trouble shooting, maintenance and cleaning.
