Carl Zeiss SL 130 — Used Slit Lamp
The Carl Zeiss SL 130 is an elite, high-performance biomicroscope built to deliver exceptional optical clarity and mechanical precision. Featuring a 5-step Galilean magnification changer (6×, 10×, 16×, 25×, and 40× with 12.5× eyepieces), its parallel optical path provides a high-contrast, true-color, stereoscopic view of the anterior segment. A single-handed joystick gives micrometer-precise X-Y-Z control for effortless tracking during detailed examinations.
According to the National Library of Medicine, research on slit-lamp-mounted Goldmann applanation tonometry confirms it remains the clinical reference standard for accurate, repeatable intraocular pressure measurement in glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring.
Why Practices Choose the Carl Zeiss SL 130
- Elite Parallel Optics — wide field of view, excellent depth of focus, and sharp resolution for reliable structural diagnostics
- 5-Step Magnification Changer — switches across five distinct click-stops (6× to 40×) to capture wide overviews or microscopic cellular layers
- Versatile Beam Manipulation — slit width and length adjust continuously (0 to 14 mm) with full 180° slit rotation for dynamic optical slicing
- Ergonomic Controls — well-positioned knobs and a fluid mechanical joystick allow comfortable, single-handed micro-alignments
- Premium Diagnostic Filters — built-in filter wheel with cobalt blue, red-free (green), and heat-absorbing filters for fluorescein and vascular assessments
- Heavy-Duty Construction — Carl Zeiss all-metal architecture resists structural drift and maintains long-term calibration
Clinical Applications
- Comprehensive Anterior Segment Diagnostics — evaluating corneal layers, endothelial health, iris structures, and crystalline lens cataracts
- Contact Lens Assessment — reviewing lens fit, centration, edge lift, and corneal compatibility under blue-light illumination
- Posterior Pole Biomicroscopy — when paired with a handheld fundus lens, for detailed viewing of the optic nerve head, macula, and vitreous
Who This Is For
- Glaucoma and Cornea Specialists — who require the highest level of optical resolution paired with an ultra-precise Goldmann measurement arm
- Comprehensive Optometry and Ophthalmology Clinics — seeking an all-in-one premium diagnostic workstation to maximize lane efficiency
