Anterior segment fluorescein angiography: a simple modification of the Zeiss stereo slit lamp camera

Ann Ophthalmol. 1975 Jan;7(1):87-92.

Abstract

The addition of a small metal housing containing a rechargeable flash to a Zeiss stereo slit lamp camera provides a simple, inexpensive method for obtaining excellent quality anterior segment fluorescein angiograms. By placing a splice in the slit illumination cord the fluorescein flash unit can be hooked up to be existing Zeiss power pack. The easy insertion of the proper excitation and barrier filters completes the temporary conversion. Utilizing this equipment, rapid sequence photographs of high resolution can be achieved. In addition, stereophotography, variable magnification, color photography and a simultaneous combination of fluorescein and infrared angiography for pigmented lesions are possible.
