Description
Labomed - USA, Model SLX-45, H.S. Style 3-Steps Slit Lamp for Professional Ophthalmic Examination
The Labomed – USA, Model SLX-45, H.S. Style 3-Steps Slit Lamp is professional ophthalmic examination equipment designed for hospitals, eye clinics, ophthalmology practices, and specialist eye-care facilities. Combining Galilean optical technology with a practical three-step magnification system, this ophthalmic slit lamp provides clear and detailed visualization for routine and clinical anterior-segment examinations.
The SLX-45 features 3-step magnification at 10x, 16x, and 25x, allowing eye-care professionals to select the appropriate magnification for different examination requirements. Its WF 12.5x/18 mm eyepieces with ±5 mm diopter adjustment and an IPD range of 48.5–77 mm support comfortable binocular observation.
As a professional slit lamp biomicroscope, the SLX-45 provides a slit length and width of up to 0–12 mm, with .6, 5.8, 9, and 13.5 mm apertures and continuous adjustment. The slit rotates through 0–180°, providing flexibility for different examination positions and illumination requirements.
The 6V 20W halogen illumination system delivers consistent examination lighting, while integrated red-free, cobalt blue, heat-absorbing, and neutral-density filters support varied clinical observation requirements. The unit also provides extensive mechanical movement, including 100 mm longitudinal, 107 mm lateral, and 30 mm vertical movement.
Designed as dependable ophthalmology equipment for hospitals, the Labomed SLX-45 is suitable for professional eye-care environments requiring a reliable and versatile ophthalmic slit lamp. Optional accessories including a tonometer, beam splitter, cameras, diffuser, and motorized table can further expand its clinical functionality.
