The basic technologies inside GALILEI

For an understanding of the functioning principle of the GALILEI Dual Scheimpflug Analyzer and of its inherent advantages over other methods of corneal mapping and anterior segment imaging,  it is useful to review the basic concepts of Scheimpflug photography and of Placido topography. The full advantages of the two complementary methods come to bear when data generated by both methods are combined and merged into a single set of data that describes corneal and anterior chamber geometry.

These fundamentals are briefly explained on the following pages, and in a White Paper by Cynthia Roberts, PhD, and Benno Züger, PhD, which is available for download.
