The Optica WDS illuminated LED magnifier combines precision optics, powerful lighting control, and clinical-grade UV capability to support highly accurate diagnosis across a wide array of medical applications. Its 157 mm viewing lens provides a generous field of vision, while 1.9x (3.5 dpt) magnification enables users to examine fine structures and subtle details without losing spatial context. This enlarged visual field helps clinicians maintain both accuracy and comfort during prolonged assessment tasks.
High-quality LED performance ensures exceptional color rendering, allowing skin, tissue, and surface tones to appear natural and true to life. The 6,500 K LED array minimizes shadow formation and supplies light clarity essential for distinguishing subtle tone variations. With a CRI above 93 and R9 values exceeding 90, the Optica WDS faithfully reproduces critical red tissue tones, while an R13 value above 95 enhances the visibility of skin and soft-tissue colors. Together, these optical qualities support precise color judgment and reduce uncertainty in comparative assessment.
Lighting control contributes further to diagnostic confidence. The magnifier delivers stable, uniform output that maintains clarity across the full viewing area, ensuring that even the smallest color or texture differences remain visible. The Woods UV lighting mode adds another diagnostic layer by revealing conditions that may not be detectable under standard LED illumination. Unlike many Woods lights that require total room darkness, the Optica WDS uses powerful BLB LEDs that perform effectively in normal ambient lighting, offering visible results without disrupting workflow.
The unit’s flexible positioning system enhances usability in clinical environments. Reinforced friction joints and a spring-balanced aluminum arm provide a reach of up to 142 cm, allowing the lamp head to remain stable without drifting. This smooth, reliable adjustability helps clinicians access difficult areas with ease and maintain an optimal angle for both LED and UV assessment.
As an approved medical device, the Optica WDS is suited for dermatology, general human medicine, dentistry, veterinary practice, and monitoring of sterilized products. Its diagnostic capabilities make it particularly valuable for identifying skin conditions such as favus, various forms of intertrigo, and erythrasma. By combining optical clarity, accurate color reproduction, responsive lighting modes, and ergonomic mobility, the Optica WDS supports consistent, visible diagnostic results in a wide range of professional healthcare settings.
