Reichert Slit Lamp XCEL 400 — Used with Mounted Optilasa Applanation Tonometer
The Reichert slit lamp XCEL 400 is a compact table-top biomicroscope built for routine anterior segment examination, and this unit ships with an Optilasa applanation tonometer already mounted. Its 3-step rotating magnification drum (10×, 16×, 25×) with 12.5× eyepieces covers everything from an overview of the lids and conjunctiva to fine corneal and lens detail. A 0–12 mm slit with six apertures and 0°–180° slit rotation give this Reichert slit lamp the flexibility expected in a general exam lane. With the tonometer in place, IOP can be measured in the same seating, so a practice equipping a lane on a controlled budget gets two core instruments from one used Reichert slit lamp package.
A 2026 study indexed by the National Library of Medicine compared disposable and reusable measuring bodies for Goldmann applanation tonometry in glaucoma care, reflecting how central Goldmann-type applanation remains to everyday IOP measurement.
Why Practices Choose the Reichert XCEL 400
- Mounted Optilasa applanation tonometer — Goldmann-type IOP measurement is ready at the slit lamp, with no separate tonometer to buy or install.
- 3-step magnification (10×, 16×, 25×) — a rotating drum moves quickly between overview and detailed anterior segment views.
- Versatile slit control — 0–12 mm slit width and length, apertures of 0.3, 1, 3, 5, 9 and 12 mm, and full 0°–180° rotation.
- Four built-in filters — cobalt blue for fluorescein, red-free for vessels and nerve fiber detail, plus heat-absorbing and neutral density filters for patient comfort.
- Wide working range — 90 mm longitudinal, 100 mm lateral and 30 mm vertical travel with an 80 mm chin rest range accommodates a wide range of patients.
- Compact footprint — a 465 × 316 mm table base fits standard instrument tables and stands.
- Two instruments, one station — biomicroscopy and applanation tonometry in a single setup reduces lane clutter and patient transfers.
Clinical Applications
- Comprehensive anterior segment examination of the cornea, conjunctiva, iris and crystalline lens
- Goldmann-type IOP measurement with the mounted Optilasa tonometer for glaucoma screening and follow-up
- Fluorescein staining evaluation of corneal epithelial integrity and dry eye with cobalt blue illumination
- Contact lens fitting and follow-up assessment
- Pre- and post-operative anterior segment checks for cataract and refractive procedures
- Gonioscopy with a contact lens for angle evaluation
Who This Is For
- Ophthalmology and optometry practices equipping an exam lane with a slit lamp and tonometer in one used package
- Glaucoma monitoring offices that need applanation IOP at the slit lamp
- Multi-location groups adding a satellite or overflow lane on a controlled budget
- Residency programs and teaching clinics adding slit lamp stations with tonometry
