Abstract
Instant close-up photography of the eye is simplified with the Polaroid SX-70 camera and the new Polaroid CU-70 accessory kit. This offers many new opportunities for ophthalmologists, who require instant photographs of the eye for the patient's chart. The SX-70 is a simple single-lens reflex camera to use and easy for an inexperienced operator and provides ten color pictures of the format 8 × 8 cm. The supercolor Time-Zero SX-70 film takes 90 sec to develop.
