Slit Lamp SL990 ZOOM

SL990 ZOOM Slit Lamp: Advanced Halogen Lighting, Integrated Yellow Filter, and Video System for Precise Eye Examinations

The SL990 ZOOM slit lamp stands out as an essential tool in ophthalmology, combining advanced technologies to deliver exceptional precision and efficiency in eye examinations. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of clinical environments, it integrates high-performance halogen lighting, an integrated yellow filter for fluorescein exams, and a comprehensive video system for detailed documentation.

Advanced Halogen Lighting for Optimal Light Stability

At the core of the SL990 ZOOM slit lamp is its high-performance halogen lighting system, featuring a 6V-20W bulb. This halogen lighting is renowned for its exceptional light stability, even under extreme temperature conditions. Such stability is crucial for maintaining consistent and accurate image quality, which is vital for reliable ophthalmological diagnoses. The lighting unit is also inclinable, allowing a vertical projection of the slit light over a 20° field. This feature is particularly beneficial for various types of exams, such as horizontal observation of ocular structures, gonioscopic examination to assess the iridocorneal angle, and posterior pole exploration. The slit adjustments are also highly flexible, with 5° increments, providing enhanced precision in light orientation to meet each patient’s specific needs.

Integrated Yellow Filter for Optimal Fluorescein Use

The SL990 ZOOM slit lamp is equipped with an integrated yellow filter designed to facilitate fluorescein examinations. This filter enhances the visibility of corneal lesions and surface irregularities, thereby aiding in the diagnosis of various ocular pathologies. The filter is built directly into the microscope and can be easily raised using a dedicated lever, allowing for a rapid transition between different examination types. This functionality boosts clinical efficiency by avoiding complex equipment changes and enhancing the fluidity of the examination process.

Comprehensive Video System for Advanced Documentation

To meet the growing needs for documentation and analysis, the SL990 ZOOM offers a complete video system as an option. This system includes a digital micro-camera, an analog monitor, a video recorder, and a color printer. The optional digital micro-camera enables high-quality image capture without interfering with the observation eyepieces. This ensures perfect synchronization between the manipulation of the slit lamp and image capture, thereby optimizing the overall light yield of the system. The system also features a removable optical divider, which splits the optical image of the microscope equally: 50% for the video camera and 50% for the operator's eyepieces. This divider allows simultaneous observation and high-quality recording, facilitating later documentation and analysis of the captured images.

The camera output options are diverse: single outputs are available for a Panasonic camera, a standard type C telecamera, and other telecameras (with required adapter/seal). There is also a double output option, offering significant flexibility to adapt to various microscope types, whether zoom or Galilean. This extensive compatibility allows for easy integration into different clinical settings and ensures optimal versatility for visual documentation.

Continuous Magnification for Precise Visualization

The SL990 ZOOM version offers continuous magnification from 6x to 33x, providing detailed and precise visualization of ocular structures. The optical system features multi-coated anti-reflective treatment, ensuring sharp, bright, and contrasted images. All accessories for Galilean-type microscopes are compatible with the SL990 ZOOM, providing great versatility in use. This feature is particularly useful for professionals requiring detailed and clear images for accurate diagnostics.
