22mm Inter-optical Path Distances

As a general rule, the longer the distance between the two optical paths, the better the stereoscopic view, but the narrower the binocular field of view in fundus examination. In reverse, the shorter the distance between the optical paths, the poorer the stereoscopic view, but the wider the binocular field of view in fundus examination.

With this in mind, we have achieved optics suitable for fundus examination by choosing the optimal 22mm as the inter-optical path distance.

Converging Binocular Tubes

The binocular tubes with a 6-degree convergence provide easy binocular fusion, ensuring stress-free observation.

Advanced multi-coating is applied to all lenses used in the microscope for excellent optical performance; bright images free from flare and ghost are obtained, improving the quality of examination and treatment.

Helicoid Mechanism

As the diopter adjustment rings do not rotate with the eye caps, the selected diopters will not be accidentally changed during use.

In addition, the 16x high-eyepoint wide-field eyepieces enable observation over a wider field.

Magnification Changer

With the 5-step drum magnification changer (3-step for the SM-2N) that offers a wide range, from low to high, the optimal magnification is obtainable in clinical use. Also with the smoothly-rotating knob, this magnification mechanism provides a stress-free environment.

Integrated Control

The joystick for XYZ movement, its top button for the light booster function (which also serves as a trigger button for capturing images when connected to an imaging device), and the rheostat adjacent to the joystick for light intensity adjustment can all be controlled with one hand. This ensures a smooth and swift examination.

Furthermore, the joystick mechanism provides outstanding control from coarse to fine movement of the slitlamp base.

Slitlamp with Integrated Base

By integrating it with the base, the sturdiness of the chin rest assembly has improved dramatically. Now that the base is integrated, there is no need to be selective with the shape of fittings for the chin rest assembly or its installation method. The slitlamp can now be set up very easily on any type of instrument table.

Headrest/Finger Rest

The headrest serves not only as a patient's headrest but also as a finger rest for the examiner holding an indirect lens upon fundus examination. The finger rest feature is designed such that the examiner can hold the indirect lens steady. It also reduces arm fatigue from lengthy fundus examination.

Right Eye / Left Eye Recognition Sensor and Signal Output Function

The right eye/left eye recognition sensor is now built-in so that the slitlamp works well with an image filing system. Right eye/left eye recognition signal is output once the slitlamp is aligned to the eye to be tested.

The cable-end connector of the connecting cable (optional) varies according to the image filing system used. Contact our Sales Department for details.
