ZEISS SL 120: Versatility and Exceptional Performance
The ZEISS SL 120 slit lamp represents excellence in ophthalmology, offering an impressive combination of flexibility, optical performance, and ease of use. Designed to meet the demands of daily eye examinations, the ZEISS SL 120 is a reliable instrument that excels in producing detailed, high-contrast images essential for precise diagnostics.
Superior Optical Performance
The ZEISS SL 120 stands out for its exceptional optical transmission, which enables the production of high-resolution images with high contrast. This image quality is crucial for detailed observation and analysis of the eye's structures. The device features a 14 mm illuminated field of view, allowing for a comprehensive view of the anterior segment of the eye. This wide field of view facilitates a thorough examination of the entire eye, ensuring effective detection of abnormalities and pathologies.
The slit lamp's stereo microscope offers five magnification levels, ranging from 5x to 32x with 10x eyepieces, and from 6x to 40x with 12.5x eyepieces. This range of magnifications allows for observation from a broad overview to fine details, providing maximum flexibility for various types of examinations.
Comfort and Ergonomic Operation
The ZEISS SL 120 is designed to optimize user comfort with its ergonomic interface. Its design promotes a comfortable posture throughout the examination, reducing practitioner fatigue. One-handed operation is made easy with an intuitive joystick, quick-action brake, and easy-to-grasp controls. These features enable precise and rapid adjustments of the slit, improving the efficiency of clinical procedures.
To accommodate individual work preferences, the lamp offers the choice between a parallel tube and a convergent tube. An optional tiltable prism head is also available to minimize reflections during contact lens examinations, enhancing observation clarity.
Comprehensive Applications and Accessories
The ZEISS SL 120 is designed to be versatile, with a wide range of applications supported by various available accessories. For example, the ZEISS SL Imaging Module allows for high-resolution image and video recording of all examinations. This facilitates clinical documentation, patient consultations, and presentations. The module includes the SL cam 5.0, a compact 5-megapixel camera, which, combined with the SL Imaging software, ensures effective image capture and review, offering customizable capture settings.
For intraocular pressure measurements, the ZEISS SL 120 is compatible with two versions of the ZEISS applanation tonometer, the AT 020 and AT 030. These tools allow for precise and reliable measurement of intraocular pressure, essential for diagnosing glaucoma and other eye conditions.
Additionally, the ZEISS SL 120 offers 10x eyepieces for easy clinical measurement of lengths and angles, as well as integrated filters including blue, green (without red), gray, red, and diffusing screens. These filters are essential for adapting illumination to the specific needs of clinical examinations.
Technical Data and Specifications
The ZEISS SL 120 features technical characteristics suited to a variety of needs. The field of view diameter ranges from 40 mm to 6 mm with 10x eyepieces and from 31 mm to 5 mm with 12.5x eyepieces. The slit image width is continuously adjustable from 0 to 14 mm, while the slit image length is variable in increments from 0.3 mm to 14 mm. The slit can be rotated continuously up to ±90°, and the horizontal decentering is ±4°, with a fixed stop at 0°.
The projection system is adjustable with a rotation range of 180° and click stops at -10°, 0°, and +10°. The angle of incidence is variable in steps of 0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, and 20°. The working distance between the exit prism and the patient's eye is 65 mm, and the instrument's base movements are 30 mm vertically, 110 mm laterally, and 90 mm axially.
