Slit Lamp SL-990 5x

Advanced Technology for the SL-990 Slit Lamp: Halogen Lighting, Integrated Yellow Filter, and Video Options

The SL-990 slit lamp stands out as an essential tool in ophthalmology, leveraging advanced technologies to ensure precision and efficiency in ocular examinations. Designed for optimal performance, it combines reliable halogen lighting, an integrated yellow filter for fluorescein exams, and a comprehensive video system option for detailed documentation.

A key feature of the SL-990 slit lamp is its halogen lighting system, utilizing a 6V-20W bulb. This lighting type is renowned for its exceptional stability, even under extreme temperature conditions. This stability is crucial for maintaining consistent and precise image quality, which is vital for reliable ophthalmic diagnostics.

The lighting unit is designed to be adjustable, allowing for vertical projection of the light slit across a 20° field. This functionality is particularly useful for various examination types, such as horizontal observation of ocular structures, gonioscopic examination for assessing the iridocorneal angle, and posterior pole exploration. The slit adjustments are highly flexible, with 5° increments, providing great precision in light orientation to tailor the examination to each patient’s specific needs.

The SL-990 slit lamp is equipped with an integrated yellow filter, an essential component for fluorescein examinations. This filter enhances the visibility of corneal lesions and ocular surface irregularities, facilitating the diagnosis of various conditions. The yellow filter is built directly into the microscope and can be easily raised using a dedicated lever. This design allows for quick transitions between different types of exams without requiring complex equipment changes, thereby increasing the efficiency and smoothness of clinical procedures.

To meet modern documentation and analysis needs, the SL-990 offers a comprehensive video system option. This system includes several essential components: a digital micro camera, an analog monitor, a video recorder, and a color printer. The digital micro camera captures high-quality images without interfering with the observation eyepieces. This ensures perfect synchronization between the operation of the slit lamp and image capture, optimizing light output and recording quality.

Another significant feature of the SL-990 is its detachable optical splitter. It divides the optical image from the microscope into two equal parts: 50% for the video camera and 50% for the operator’s eyepieces. This separation allows for simultaneous observation and high-quality recording, facilitating detailed documentation and subsequent image analysis. The video system offers various camera output options: single outputs for a Panasonic camera, a standard type C telecamera, and other telecameras with the required adapter/connector. A dual output option is also available, providing flexibility to accommodate various microscope types, whether zoom or Galilean.

Overall, the SL-990 slit lamp is a state-of-the-art device that integrates advanced lighting, filtering, and video capabilities, making it an indispensable tool for comprehensive and accurate ocular examinations.
