1. Introduction
Welcome to use AL- 106 digital video colposcope!
Clinical application of colposcope has a history of more than eighty years. With the
rapid development of medical diagnosis technology and digital imaging technology,
the design and function of the colposcope is becoming better day by day. The new
type of colposcope achieves much improvement in the advancement of the imaging
module, image clarity and personalized design.
AL-106 digital video colposcope adopts high - resolution electronic imaging technology.
This technique is different from traditional optical colposcopy for it does not have
eyepieces so that the doctors could observe the lesion on the monitor. The high quality
light source and continuously magnified image could present very subtle details.
In addition, AL - 106 is easy to operate, and can be used both for diagnosis and guiding
treatment. Such innovative and non - invasive technique could provide fast and safe
screening, and it is an advanced method for education and research.

Features

AL-106 digital video colposcope adopts high resolution color CCD video image
capture technology and advanced control technology, thus can not only satisfy big
- screen display requirement, but also realize image ca pture, display, process,
save and print through computer and software.

High-resolution color CCD, double circular LED group light source, control
circuit all integrated in one handheld camera.

Button control provides convenience for operation such as zo om in/out, focus,
freeze, green filter, and timing and magnification factor display.

Digital video colposcope check is dual-visual that both doctors and patients
can observe, thus it could help doctor explain cervix lesion and suggest
treatment to patient directly.
