I have watched long instruction sessions of other iris camera makers and felt sorry for the user;All that

technical stuff and settings to remember.  Iridologist that never before used the  EyeRonec  iris camera 

where able to make good pictures at the first attempt in just 10 seconds or so...... You can do the same!.                  

Old iriscope cameras rely on film and developing in photo labs that produce  varying  colour each time.

The  EyeRonec digital camera iriscope employs the latest digital recording techniques.  Digital cameras

use electronic dots similar to film. Do you remember hearing about grainy film and when a photograph

was enlarged to wall poster size you had to take a few steps back to see the image clearly?

Digital photography is similar  ,  the  dots may still be larger and more defined as film, but the principle is

the same. Actually the monitor  you are looking at now also works with 'dots'. To enable us to get colour

the image dots or pixels are arranged in lots of 3 and by turning one, two or 3 ON, ALL  the colours of the

rainbow can be made. So 3 dots  become ONE so to speak.  How many of these dots do we need to get a

good picture or a clear photo?  Well your TV has around 153,200 pixels (USA) or 215,500 in Australia and

Europe.  Up until now that has  been  satisfactory  until computers became available and people became

used to watch screens with around 1000,000,000 pixels  ( 1Meg )  producing  better  images  than  the old

TV and Video's

This challenged the TV people to start off fresh and introduce a NEW incompatible system of DIGITAL TV

That means that  all our old  TVs  need to be  replaced  as a whole new digital network and  new  TV  sets  

are introduced. O.K. what does this have to do with Digital Cameras?    Well these are currently designed

to give an analog (old system) TV signal output  so  the  number  of  pixels  has  to  be   limited to suit that

system, even if the camera can produce images with 3.2 - 8 Mp. SoYes, most of the image is lost and only

215,500 or 153,200 are send to the monitor.   The printer can accept around 3 million pixels as this device

is designed to be digital.    So  for  now  the  monitor  is the  weakest  link.  In the next 5-10 years as all the

current TVs have been replaced  the camera  manufacturers  will  have an output signal that  will  suit the

new  equipment  and  hence  a  better  image.    But do we need more pixels to see all the fibers in an iris?

Maybe not, current  equipment  produces  very  good  images  and iridologist all over the world enjoy the

luxury of having INSTANT images to work with, on a large screen  patients can observe at the same time.

The Canon camera was selected because of its high amount of   usable  pixels  and its ability to show the

live image on a  large  monitor.  The  memory  card  supplied  is  able to store  approximately 1720 images. 

Additional  cards  are  available at  around  $ 20.-
