Marco G5 Ultra Slit Lamp with Haag Streit 900 Tonometer – Used

Description

Marco G5 Ultra Slit Lamp — Used Complete Biomicroscope with Integrated Applanation Tonometer

The Marco G5 Ultra slit lamp delivers reliable anterior segment biomicroscopy and integrated applanation tonometry in a single, complete exam station — making it one of the most accessible full-featured slit lamp packages available at this price. Built on Marco’s Ultra Series platform with Galilean optics, 6° converging binocular tubes, and 5-step magnification from 6.3× to 40×, the Marco G5 Ultra brings clinical-grade optics to practices equipping a first lane or adding capacity. With cobalt blue and neutral density filters, continuously variable slit control, and a halogen light source delivering enhanced transmission, the Marco G5 Ultra slit lamp handles the full range of routine anterior segment examination without a Haag Streit 900 Tonometer.

Research published in Clinical Ophthalmology (National Library of Medicine) confirms that Goldmann applanation tonometry remains the reference standard for intraocular pressure accuracy in clinical practice — underscoring the importance of an integrated tonometer in any complete anterior segment exam station.

Why Practices Choose the Marco G5 Ultra Slit Lamp

• 5-step magnification drum (6.3×–40×) — Galilean optics with high-eyepoint, wide-field eyepieces provide clear, high-contrast imaging across all five steps without changing eyepieces; single-knob rotation switches magnification steps cleanly.
• Integrated applanation tonometer included — IOP measurement capability built into the slit lamp eliminates a separate tonometer purchase; keeps the exam lane complete with one instrument.
• Cobalt blue filter for fluorescein evaluation — enables fluorescein staining assessment for corneal abrasions, contact lens fitting, dry eye evaluation, and surface pathology without an add-on filter accessory.
• Neutral density filter — reduces illumination intensity for photosensitive patients without altering slit geometry, improving comfort and compliance during prolonged anterior segment examination.
• Continuously variable slit control — variable width, height, and rotation support diffuse, direct focal, retroillumination, and specular reflection examination techniques across all anterior segment structures.
• Enhanced halogen illumination — Marco Ultra Series halogen delivers up to 20% greater light transmission versus previous models; warm-spectrum output renders anterior segment tissue clearly in routine clinical use.
• 6° converging binocular tubes — ergonomic angle reduces operator head and neck strain during extended examination sessions; high-eyepoint eyepieces accommodate spectacle wearers without field-of-view compromise.
• Single-handed elevation system — streamlines patient positioning, enabling faster lane throughput and consistent instrument alignment during biomicroscopy and tonometry.

Clinical Applications

• Anterior segment biomicroscopy — cornea, conjunctiva, iris, lens, and anterior vitreous examination with five-step Galilean optics and full slit illumination control.
• Applanation tonometry — intraocular pressure measurement for glaucoma screening, monitoring, and routine comprehensive eye exam documentation.
• Fluorescein staining evaluation — cobalt blue filter supports corneal abrasion mapping, dry eye fluorescein TBUT assessment, and contact lens fitting evaluation.
• Foreign body and trauma assessment — variable magnification and illumination modes for anterior segment emergency examination in urgent care settings.
• Pre- and post-operative evaluation — anterior segment assessment before and after cataract, refractive, and corneal procedures with documented biomicroscopy findings.

Who This Is For

• New ophthalmology and optometry practices equipping a first exam lane on a budget without sacrificing IOP measurement capability or optical quality.
• Multi-location clinics adding slit lamps to satellite offices or secondary lanes where a complete, reliable instrument is needed at a cost-effective price.
• Urgent care eye clinics and mobile screening operations that need a full-featured, functional instrument without a premium brand price tag.
• Teaching programs and residency clinics seeking affordable student-use slit lamps with full clinical capability including integrated tonometry.
