"Specialist" halogen ophthalmoscope with charger unit, by Keeler Instruments Ltd., England, 1980

The ophthalmoscope was invented in 1851 by Herman von Helmholtz (1821-94). The instrument is used to view the retina and other internal structures of the eye. Early ophthalmoscopes used reflected sunlight from mirrors to view the inner eye. This more modern example uses a built-in halogen light bulb. It was made by Keeler Instruments Limited. It comes with a charger pack.
