Haag Streit BQ 900 — Used Slit Lamp with Fundus Module 300
The Haag-Streit BQ 900 is the flagship biomicroscope from Haag-Streit, the Swiss manufacturer that defined the modern slit lamp. This used haag streit bq 900 combines the precision of the BQ 900’s LED illumination system and 5-step magnification changer with the Fundus Module 300 — enabling both anterior segment examination and non-contact posterior segment imaging from a single instrument. Practices that need comprehensive diagnostic capability in one footprint choose this haag streit bq 900 combination over separate instruments. A study published by the National Library of Medicine confirms fundus biomicroscopy as a validated clinical method for posterior segment evaluation, comparable to direct imaging for detecting retinal pathology during routine examination.
Why Practices Choose the Haag-Streit BQ 900
Fundus Module 300 (brand new) — the attached FM 300 has never been used, giving buyers a new posterior segment imaging module paired with a proven slit lamp body. Works with non-contact 78D and 90D lenses for disc, macula, and peripheral retinal evaluation without dilation required.- 5-step magnification changer — 6×, 10×, 16×, 25×, and 40× magnification steps cover every clinical need from lid and lash inspection at low power to fine trabecular meshwork and corneal endothelium detail at 40×.
- LED illumination — the BQ 900 LED system delivers consistent, color-accurate white light without bulb replacement cycles, reducing downtime and maintenance costs across the lamp’s lifetime.
- Motorized joystick — smooth XY and Z movement through the motorized joystick assembly allows precise positioning during slit beam examinations and fundus imaging sessions, reducing examiner fatigue.
- AT 900 tonometer compatible — the BQ 900 accepts the Haag-Streit AT 900 Goldmann applanation tonometer, maintaining the gold standard for IOP measurement without replacing the slit lamp platform.
- Swiss precision build quality — Haag-Streit instruments are manufactured in Bern to tighter mechanical tolerances than most competitors, reflected in the BQ 900’s long service life and consistent optical performance over decades of clinical use.
- Single-platform workflow — combining anterior and posterior diagnostic capability into one motorized slit lamp reduces patient chair time, room footprint, and equipment acquisition cost versus two separate instruments.
Clinical Applications
- Anterior segment biomicroscopy — detailed examination of cornea, iris, anterior chamber, and crystalline lens for cataracts, corneal dystrophies, and inflammatory disease using 6×–40× magnification and precision slit beam control.
- Non-contact fundus evaluation — posterior segment imaging with the FM 300 and 78D/90D lenses enables optic disc, macula, and peripheral retinal assessment without patient contact or corneal anesthesia.
- Glaucoma monitoring — anterior chamber angle evaluation, optic nerve head assessment, and Goldmann applanation tonometry (with AT 900) on one integrated platform.
- Diabetic retinopathy screening — fundus biomicroscopy with non-contact lenses allows retinal evaluation in diabetic patients during routine follow-up visits.
- Post-surgical assessment — close inspection of surgical wounds, intraocular lenses, and anterior chamber anatomy following cataract or corneal surgery at 25× and 40×.
- Contact lens fitting — fluorescein pattern assessment and corneal topography evaluation using the slit lamp’s precision illumination and magnification.
Who This Is For
- Ophthalmology practices seeking a premium Swiss slit lamp with integrated fundus imaging capability at a significant discount versus new pricing.
- Optometry clinics expanding into anterior and posterior segment diagnostics with a single high-quality instrument platform.
- Academic and teaching institutions that require the diagnostic breadth of a full-featured slit lamp system with documented Haag-Streit build quality.
- Mobile and multi-location practices that benefit from the BQ 900’s self-contained design — a complete diagnostic workstation without separate posterior segment camera requirements.
