Reichert XCEL 700 — Used Slit Lamp with R-900 Tonometer
The Reichert XCEL 700 is a 5-step Galilean slit lamp built for full-range anterior segment work, paired here with the Optilasa R-900 applanation tonometer for Goldmann-grade IOP measurement on the same instrument. This used reichert xcel 700 ships inspected, illumination verified, and ready to drop into an exam lane with a 90-day warranty.
Where 2-step slit lamps cap out at 16× magnification, the XCEL 700 delivers 5 magnifications in a single click-stop changer — 6×, 10×, 16×, 25×, and 40× — so the same instrument handles routine anterior segment work, contact-lens fitting, and high-magnification corneal detail without changing eyepieces or accessories. Slit width and length both adjust 0–12 mm continuous, with fixed apertures at 0.3, 1, 3, 5, 9, and 12 mm.
Per a National Library of Medicine-indexed study (Eur J Ophthalmol, 2026), slit lamp biomicroscopy remains a primary tool for posterior-segment assessment workflows, including comparative evaluation against ultra-wide-field imaging in retinal practices.
Why Practices Choose the XCEL 700
5-step magnification (6× to 40×) — covers the routine exam (10×/16×) plus high-mag corneal work (25×/40×) without swapping eyepieces.- R-900 applanation tonometer included — slit-lamp-mounted Goldmann-style measurement integrated on the same arm, no separate tonometer station required.
- Galilean optics — the click-stop magnification changer most clinicians find faster and more repeatable than continuous-zoom designs.
- Continuous slit 0–12 mm in width and length — wider adjustment range than 8-mm-class slit lamps for parallelepiped, optic section, and conical beam techniques.
- Full filter set — red-free, cobalt blue, heat-absorbing, and neutral density, all in the rotating filter wheel.
- Generous travel — 90 mm in/out, 100 mm lateral, 30 mm vertical for comfortable patient positioning.
- Standard 6V 20W halogen — bulb is widely available and inexpensive to stock, no proprietary lamp module.
Clinical Applications
- Routine anterior segment exam — cornea, conjunctiva, iris, lens, anterior chamber
- Goldmann applanation tonometry via the integrated R-900
- Contact lens fitting at 16× and 25×
- Corneal foreign body localization and removal at 25×–40×
- Cobalt blue + fluorescein staining for dry eye and corneal abrasion assessment
- Pre- and post-op evaluation in cataract and refractive surgery practices
Who This Is For
- Optometry and ophthalmology practices replacing an aging 2-step slit lamp without jumping to Haag-Streit pricing
- Practices that want one instrument that handles routine and high-magnification work
- Group practices needing a second exam-lane slit lamp at a $3K-class price point
- Mobile clinics that already have a Reichert ecosystem and want compatible accessories
