A vital new tool in improving shade-matching communication from chairside to the dental laboratory, the Crystaleye dental spectrophotometer combines digital imaging with tooth shade data.
The included software offers comprehensive image manipulation, giving dental technicians the detailed tooth anatomy and color they need to fabricate natural-looking restorations.
| Crystaleye prevents uneven photography by illuminating the imaged tooth uniformly from right and left, using 7-band LED light sources. |
| | The light
To attain uniform illumination, the unit provides lighting from 45° right and left directions based on the international standard of spectral reflectance illumination (CIE, ISO). |
| | The cradle operates as both a calibration unit and a battery charge mechanism. |
 | 
| The cap secures an exact photography position, shields external light completely and helps protect gingival mucosa from pain. |
