Description
The Carl Zeiss SL 130 slit lamp is a premium-grade biomicroscope designed for comprehensive ophthalmic examination and therapeutic applications. Engineered for exceptional optical performance, this instrument offers refined mechanics and a robust design, making it ideal for eye care professionals who demand precision, versatility, and comfort in clinical workflows.
One of the standout features of the SL 130 is its ergonomic “ACCENTO®” tube, available in both parallel and convergent configurations, allowing practitioners to choose the setup that best suits their posture and working style — reducing strain on the neck and back during long sessions.
In terms of illumination, the SL 130 uses a 6 V / 20 W halogen lamp, providing a bright and continuously adjustable slit beam. The slit image can be finely controlled in width, length, and rotation, and can be tilted from 0° up to 20°, delivering flexibility for a wide range of examination needs.
To further support clinical documentation and patient consultation, the SL 130 is compatible with the SL Imaging Module, which enables high-resolution image and video capture. This module offers seamless integration, facilitating diagnostic record-keeping and patient education.
The SL 130’s design also accommodates laser therapy: it supports the ZEISS VISULINK 532/U interface, making it suitable to use with the VISULAS 532s coagulation laser system.
Thanks to a tiltable prism head, reflections during contact-lens examinations are minimized, improving clarity. Combined with apochromatic, anti-reflective optics, the SL 130 delivers crisp, high-contrast images throughout its magnification range, with up to 40× magnification when used with appropriate eyepieces.
Durability and flexibility are further enhanced through its stable base, smooth mechanical controls, and a range of optional accessories, such as applanation tonometers (AT 020 & AT 030), co-observation tubes, and hygiene attachments.
In summary, the Carl Zeiss SL 130 is a highly capable, ergonomic, and future-ready slit lamp — ideal for both routine biomicroscopy and more specialized diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
