=== Sclerotic scatter or scattering sclero-corneal illumination === [[File:Sclerotic Scatter.jpg|thumb|100px|Sclerotic scatter illumination showing KP on cornea]] With this type of illumination, a wide light beam is directed onto the limbal region of the cornea at an extremely low angle of incidence and with a laterally de-centered illuminating prism. Adjustment must allow the light beam to transmit through the corneal parenchymal layers according to the principle of total reflection allowing the interface with the cornea to be brightly illuminated. The magnification should be selected so that the entire cornea can be seen at a glance.<ref>"Eye Examination with the Slit Lamp", Zeiss, p. 18</ref>
