Enhancing Ophthalmic Examination: Explore Advanced Features of SL-980 ZOOM Slit Lamp Including Halogen Illumination, Integrated Yellow Filter, Video System, and Removable Optical Divider
Stable Halogen Illumination for Precise Observation
The SL-980 ZOOM slit lamp is designed to deliver superior lighting quality with its 6V-20W halogen system. This type of lighting ensures exceptional stability even under extreme temperature conditions, ensuring optimal and consistent performance. The lighting unit is tiltable, allowing vertical projection of the slit beam over a 20' field, with adjustments possible in 5' increments. This feature is invaluable for various ophthalmic procedures such as horizontal observation, gonioscopic examination, and posterior pole assessment. The flexibility in lighting not only enhances examination precision but also improves operator comfort during procedures.
Integrated Yellow Filter for Enhanced Fluorescein Examinations
To facilitate fluorescein examinations, the SL-980 ZOOM features an integrated yellow filter directly within the microscope. This filter can be easily raised using a lever, enabling seamless transitions between different phases of the examination. The yellow filter significantly improves contrast and clarity of images, making anomalies easier to detect. This functionality is crucial for ophthalmologists as it allows for more precise and detailed evaluation of ocular structures. By integrating this filter ergonomically, the SL-980 ZOOM enhances examination efficiency while delivering high-quality results.
Complete Video System for Efficient Documentation and Analysis
The SL-980 ZOOM slit lamp is distinguished by its comprehensive video system, designed to meet the documentation and analysis needs of visual health professionals. This system includes a digital micro camera, analog monitor, video recorder, and color printer. The optional micro camera captures images without interfering with the observation eyepieces, ensuring perfect synchronization with the operator's manipulations. This setup not only facilitates detailed examination documentation but also enables easy sharing of results with colleagues or patients. The video system's quality ensures clear and detailed recordings, optimizing the efficiency of consultations and training sessions.
Removable Optical Divider for Enhanced Flexibility
Equipped with a removable optical divider, the SL-980 ZOOM divides the microscope's optical image, allocating 50% to the video camera and 50% to the operator's eyepieces. This system is 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 telecamera, or 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 easily adapts to zoom and Galilean-type microscopes, ensuring compatibility with existing equipment.
Continuous Zoom and Advanced Optics for High-Quality Imaging
The SL-980 ZOOM version offers continuous zoom from 6x to 33x, providing bright, sharp, and high-contrast images. This capability is made possible by the multi-coated anti-reflection treatment of the optical system, which reduces reflections and enhances image clarity. All accessories of Galilean-type microscopes can be used with this version, increasing its versatility and utility in different clinical settings. Continuous zoom is particularly useful for detailed examinations, allowing ophthalmologists to precisely adjust visualization according to the specific needs of each patient.
