[On the photography of larger areas of the optic fundus-trials with the wide angle camera Clinitex CA-2 (author's transl)].

The wide angle fundus camera Clinitex CA-2 was tried out on patients and normal volunteers on evaluating the numerous photographs we found the three optic heads to deliver good results. The quality of the 60 degrees- and 100 degrees-pictures improved with the increasing dilatation of the pupil. Even retinal detachments and other changes with a different level were recoreded very well. In black-and-white- photography, uneven illumination of the fundus was successfully compensated by using a two-step developer with increased utilization of film speed. This procedure allowed good wide angle documentation of the fundus at comparatively low costs.
