Fluorescein Angiography 
(RetCam 3 System)

This chapter covers acquisition of still or video images using the fluorescein angiography 
(FA) option. These functions are provided through the 

Image Capture

 screen.

Theory of Operation on page 135

•

Using Fluorescein Angiography (FA) Mode on page 135

•

In FA mode, the timer is controlled separately from the video. For example, when you 
pause or stop the video, video capture is interrupted, but the timer continues 
uninterrupted. on page 140

Theory of Operation

The FA generates a narrow-band blue excitation light centered at approximately 471 
nanometers. The barrier filter inserted in the handpiece has a cutoff wavelength at 510 
nanometers or shorter. The FA dye absorbs the blue light and emits green light longer 
than 510 nanometers, so the RetCam 3 camera can image the green fluorescence without 
being overwhelmed by the blue excitation light.

Using Fluorescein Angiography (FA) Mode

NOTE

The internal backup battery never powers the FA module. Therefore, the 
system must be plugged into wall power to operate in FA mode.

NOTE

The FA light source is an option for the RetCam 3 system, and your system 
might not be equipped with it. Ensure that the FA light source is installed 

before

 scheduling an FA exam.

1.

Configure FA imaging by either editing a Preset imaging configuration or clicking 
Manual configuration and selecting Fluorescein as Image Type. Click 

 to continue

to the 

Live Imaging

 screen. Verify the 

FA mode

 button indicates FA On
