Enhanced efficiency

More precision, less effort

Enhance efficiency without compromising precision. Elara 900’s digital “presets” reduce the time spent on adjusting filters, modifying slit width or illumination intensity. These automated examination scenarios reduce manual steps and transitions, allowing you to fully focus on your examination at the touch of a button. Working in harmony with automation settings – Elara 900 features motorized height and magnification that allow routine adjustments to take place smoothly without disrupting your examination. Additionally, high-resolution images and videos can be captured directly from the device, supporting efficient documentation and record-keeping.
