ZEISS SL 800: A Premium Slit Lamp Unveiling Optical Details
The ZEISS SL 800 represents the cutting edge of medical optics, combining superior optical performance, a wide range of lighting options, and an ergonomic operational concept. Designed to deliver exceptional image quality and enhance workflow, the SL 800 meets the diverse needs of eye care professionals through its modularity and extensive range of optional accessories.
Superior Optical Quality
The ZEISS SL 800 stands out for its perfectly balanced ZEISS optics, offering high-definition image quality. The large lenses allow for greater light passage, while the anti-reflective coating ensures high-definition images with true-to-life colors and high contrast, even at super-high magnifications of up to 40x. Apochromatic optimization significantly reduces chromatic and spherical aberrations, allowing for detailed visualization of ocular structures.
Lighting and Filter Options
The SL 800 provides varied lighting options with the VarioLight function, allowing for a choice between cool white light and warm white light. This feature enhances image sharpness and clarity, as well as the natural impression of the fundus. The LED lighting system is complemented by a halogen filter, combining the benefits of both lighting characteristics. Integrated filters include red, blue, green (without red), and a diffuser, offering a comprehensive setup for observing both anterior and posterior eye segments.
VarioLight Cold-White: Slightly bluish illumination that helps identify irregularities in the anterior segment.
VarioLight Warm-White: Color temperature similar to halogen for a more natural impression of the fundus.
Green Filter (without red): Provides high-contrast images without red, enhancing visualization of blood vessels.
Blue Filter: Combined with the optional yellow filter, improves contrast for fluorescence analyses and contact lens adjustments.
Innovative Operational Concept
The SL 800 integrates the AutoView concept, allowing for easy magnification changes through a motorized mechanism with two buttons. The electronic QuickStop option also enables stopping the slit without having to release the joystick. The intelligent EcoMode conserves energy by automatically turning off the lamp when not in use and then simply turning it back on with a touch of the joystick. This modern concept makes using the SL 800 smooth and efficient while emphasizing comfort and ease of use for the practitioner.
Components and Optional Accessories
The ZEISS SL 800 is modular with various components and optional accessories to meet specific needs. The ZEISS SL Imaging allows for high-quality image and video capture for documentation, patient consultation, or presentations. The SL cam compact camera, combined with SL Imaging software, provides optimal resolution for accurate recordings.
Available accessories include:
AT 030 Applanation Tonometer: For accurate intraocular pressure measurements.
VarioView for Fundus Observation: Provides an extended view of the fundus.
10x Eyepiece with Scales: For measuring lengths and clinical angles.
Fixation Light, Breath Shield, and Other Practical Accessories.
The ZEISS SL 800 is designed to cater to advanced ophthalmic needs, ensuring high-quality diagnostics and efficient use, making it an indispensable tool for eye care professionals.
