How it works:

The SpectroShade Micro device is a patented self-contained unit that is composed of a spectrophotometer operating in a Linux® ambient, totally user-friendly and perfectly compatible with Microsoft Windows® and Macintosh® platform. The spectrophotometer is a LED application, with special design for each wavelength. When the measure button is pressed, the light source creates, in different instants, the whole spectrum of the visible light. The colors are carried along the special light path, divided in two optic guides that converge symmetrically the light to the area of interest. The image of the interest area, illuminated with the colored light, is then reflected onto a special Black and White CCD sensor located at the end of the optic system. This CCD sensor reads the data in the visible range from about 400nm to 700nm.

The described system is so sophisticated that measures spectrophotometric data and shows perfect color images using only a Black and White CCD. The internal computer analyzes over 2 million reference points at every time an image is acquired, and it is also able to drive all the functionalities of the instrument.

When you acquire a tooth image, you can see on the high-brightness Liquid Crystal Display the area of interest, in order to take the best image. In addiction, the Touch-Screen display provides also information about the patient data, and you can also record a voice message, that will be linked to the image acquired. The SpectroShade Micro can transfer the spectrophotometric data to the PC, as well as images, in 3 ways:

• via USB
• via W-LAN
• SD-Card
