Slit Lamp

Key Features

• Illumination system:The slit lamp is equipped with a bright light source that can be adjusted to project a narrow beam (or "slit") of light onto the eye. This allows for precise illumination of specific areas and structures within the eye.
• Microscope: The instrument includes a binocular microscope through which the eye care professional observes the illuminated structures. The microscope provides various levels of magnification, typically ranging from 6x to 40x.
• Adjustable slit width and angle:The width, height, and angle of the light beam can be adjusted to enhance the visibility of different ocular structures, facilitating a more detailed examination.
• Filters: Some slit lamps come with built-in filters (such as cobalt blue for fluorescein staining) to enhance the contrast of certain structures and improve diagnostic capabilities.
