E2-i-RIC

The E2-i RIC is a 4 megapixel back which is optimized for use in fundus photography. 
It may be supplied in an OEM configuration that can be coupled, with appropriate relay lens optics supplied by the OEM, to a range of fundus cameras. 

It is also supplied with a MegaVision designed interface to the Topcon NW6S camera for use in diabetic retinopathy screening protocols requiring only a 45 deg field of view.   The E2-I RIC replaces the 2 field relay lens on the Topcon NW6S non-mydriatic fundus camera.  When supplied with sufficient light, the E2 provides at 45 deg equivalent resolution to a 30 deg field of view supplied with a lesser amount of light.

The E2 is recommended for protocols that require only one field of view and only a few images, as the increased light level required to illuminate the additional number of pixels in the E2 compared to those of the E1 will restrict the number high quality image captures in a non-mydriadic exam.

The E2-i includes a 15mm square, 2048 X 2048 pixel array with 7.4 micron pixels. The E2-i is available in range of mechanical configurations.   It is available in either monochrome or color.  

The E2-i is ideal for nonmydriatic Diabetic screening protocols that do not require 2 fields of view and where fewer images are captured for each eye.

A special adapter which eliminates the relay lens is provided for use with the Topcon NW6S.  The E2 RIC mounts in lieu of the relay lens, so the image is at the primary focal plane of the NW6S, thus improving reliability, lowering cost,  optimizing image quality and minimizing required light.

Lens adapters for both C-mount and Nikon F-mount are available for custom configurations.
