Does the Claris use LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) or fiber optics for lighting?
In most cases, ambient and chair lighting is not enough to illuminate intraoral images. Thus, intraoral cameras have a light source either in the handpiece (LED based cameras) or in the docking station (fiber optics-halogen lamp based cameras) to illuminate the mouth and provide enough lighting for the image. A common problem with many LED cameras is that they tend to produce a bluish light that makes images look unnatural, especially in the mouth. However, the technology behind Claris was able to resolve this issue. Thus, the Claris camera provides a clear, natural look. Because the Claris operates on LEDs, the docking station is conveniently portable and can be installed in various manners without taking much space.
