11 Measuring Procedure
Instruction Manual Pentacam® AXL (G/70100/EN 1121 Rev04)
35 / 85
Adjustment
Move the image with the cross towards the patient until the four
infrared LED are clearly to see.
Focus the pupil image by moving the joystick towards the
Pentacam® AXL or away from it.
The bars on the right and left of the pupil will support you to find the
correct position. The closer the marks to the middle of the bars are
the better is the adjustment.
Adjust the left/right position of the Pentacam® AXL and its height
setting.
Move the joystick to the left or right and rotate the joystick
clockwise or anticlockwise.
The tentative final position of the camera is reached when the
central corneal reflex is in the center of the box of the red cross hair.
Shortly before you have reached the final position ask the patient to
widen his or her eye and not to blink.
The Pentacam® AXL triggers the measurement automatically.
You can use the adjusting aid of the fine adjustment alternatively, see
