1 Unit—3 Applications

The Microlux transillumination unit provides a focused beam of cool white light for use in clinical diagnosis of caries, calculus, crown fractures, and cancerous lesions. The light is powered by a high-intensity, light-emitting diode (LED) and transmitted through a focused, glass fiber-optic element. The Black Glass Transilluminator tip identifies fractures and caries and helps locate the orifice of a root canal. The DL (Diffused-glass Light-guide) tip, with 6 bottles of rinse included, helps you screen for oral cancer in as little as 3 minutes. The front surface, lighted mirror aids in visualizing the hard-to-see areas of the mouth. All tips are autoclavable.
