The innovative Vista Scan mini plus is an image plate scanner that is characterised by its user-friendliness. The two sections for image plate processing and the corresponding operation and control elements are intelligently combined, thus facilitating error-free handling. The modular design concept also provides easy access in case of repairs and maintenance and allows image plates of differing sizes to be processed easily. All operating interfaces are flush mounted, allowing the unit to be cleaned diligently and thoroughly. This user-friendly aspect also conforms to the high hygiene requirements expected of instruments in the area of dentistry. The device features a compact design, allowing it to be placed even on small working surfaces. With a clearly structured appearance and temperate colouring, it discreetly fits into treatment rooms.
