The Electro-Optical Box (EO Box)

The EO box is like the central nervous system of the RetCam Shuttle, receiving input from 
the footswitch and camera, and directing its output to the camera, computer and notebook 
display. It contains the illumination port and light intensity controllers, focus, camera and 
footswitch controllers, and it passes live images from the camera to the screen. This 
section describes its components and their functions.

from the EO box.

Do not look directly into the Lamp (Fiber Optic) opening when the EO box is
