The SP 3000 is a specular microscope that uses a technique based on projecting a narrow beam of light onto the cornea at a specific angle of incidence. A small fraction of the light is reflected off the interface between the corneal endothelium and the aqueous humor, as if it were a mirror, and is captured by the microscope objective, forming a magnified image of the area. Based on this image, a computer program analyzes the cells in terms of their shape, size, distribution, and number per unit area.

The endothelial cell count is a test that assesses the density, size, and shape of endothelial cells. Endothelial cells are the cells that form the deepest layer of the cornea, known as the endothelium. It is the innermost layer of the cornea, in contact with the aqueous humor, and is made up of very fine, flat cells arranged in a mosaic pattern. Its mission is essential to keep the cornea completely dry. This is the condition for its transparency. It acts as a pumping system to ensure that water molecules always pass from the cornea to the aqueous humor and not the other way around. The variations in cell density, shape, or size that can be observed with this test help us diagnose different corneal pathologies, whether dystrophies or degenerations, and perform pre- and postoperative assessments, among other benefits.
