The basic Opticon head contains an aiming light and an infrared detector and accepts a bifurcated fiber bundle, The aiming light transmits visible light down one branch of the bundle while infrared is transmitted up the other branch to the detector. The SolarTec Source 270 is the first medical light source to combine new lamp technology with optimized light delivery to either single plastic fibers or conventional fiber bundles. Adjacent layers may not have the same fiber bundle direction, although fibers will often pass between adjacent layers as well as into adjacent loose CT. |
