Reichert Xcel 455 Five-Step Slit Lamp | LAG Medical

Description

The Reichert Xcel® 455 Slit Lamp combines a traditional tower illumination design with wide-field optics and five-step magnification for detailed anterior-segment examinations. Its Galilean microscope provides magnifications of 6.5×, 10×, 16×, 25× and 40× through a convenient rotating drum.

High-efficiency multilayer optical coatings enhance light transmission, producing bright, even illumination and a high-resolution stereoscopic binocular view. The illumination system provides continuously adjustable slit width, selectable apertures, 180-degree slit rotation and inclination settings up to 20 degrees.

Red-free, heat-absorbing, cobalt-blue and neutral-density filters support multiple examination techniques. Smooth base movement and precise X, Y and Z joystick control facilitate positioning during routine clinical use.
