Optimizing Ophthalmic Examination: Explore the Advanced Features of the SL-980 Slit Lamp with Halogen Illumination, Integrated Yellow Filter, Video System, and Removable Optical Divider
High-Quality Halogen Illumination for Optimal Visibility
The SL-980 slit lamp features a 6V-20W halogen lighting system, ensuring exceptional light stability even in extreme temperature conditions. This feature is crucial for maintaining consistent illumination during ophthalmic examinations, enabling precise and reliable observations. The lighting unit is tiltable, providing vertical slit projection over a 20° field, with adjustable increments of 5°. This flexibility is particularly advantageous for various procedures such as horizontal observation, gonioscopic examination, and posterior pole evaluation. Overall, this slit lamp seamlessly adapts to a wide range of clinical needs, enhancing diagnostic efficiency and accuracy.
Integrated Yellow Filter for Enhanced Fluorescein Examinations
The SL-980 is equipped with an integrated yellow filter designed specifically to facilitate fluorescein examinations. This filter, directly integrated into the microscope, can be easily toggled using a lever. This allows for quick and effortless transition between different phases of the examination, thereby increasing procedural efficiency. The inclusion of the yellow filter is particularly beneficial for ophthalmologists as it enhances contrast and clarity of images obtained during fluorescein tests, making anomalies easier to detect. This feature underscores SL-980's commitment to providing high-quality, user-friendly diagnostic tools.
Comprehensive Video System for Effective Documentation and Analysis
The SL-980 slit lamp comes with a complete video system, including a digital micro camera, analog monitor, video recorder, and color printer. This setup facilitates detailed and precise documentation of examinations, aiding in the review and analysis of results. The optional digital micro camera captures images without interfering with the observation eyepieces, ensuring seamless synchronization with operator manipulations. This capability is particularly advantageous for training, remote consultations, and case reviews, allowing professionals to easily share images and videos with colleagues or patients. Moreover, the system optimizes light efficiency, ensuring clear and detailed recordings.
Removable Optical Divider for Increased Flexibility
The SL-980 features a removable optical divider, dividing the microscope's optical image with 50% allocated to the video camera and 50% to the operator's eyepieces. This system offers considerable flexibility, available in different versions tailored to various configurations. For instance, it can be configured with a single output for a Panasonic camera, a single output for a standard C-type video camera, or even a dual output for maximum flexibility. This modularity allows customization based on specific user needs, whether for routine examinations or complex procedures requiring video documentation. The optical divider also easily adapts to zoom and Galilean-type microscopes, making the SL-980 compatible with a wide range of existing equipment.
