Description
Marco G2 Ultra Slit Lamp — Used with Haag-Streit 870 Tonometer
The Marco G2 Ultra slit lamp is Marco’s premium anterior segment biomicroscope, distinguished from the standard G2 by the Ultra Series multi-coated optical system: 20% greater resolution and light transmission, a 15% wider field of view, and 14% deeper depth of field. The Marco G2 Ultra slit lamp delivers a brighter, sharper clinical view across all three magnification steps (10×, 16×, 25×) without changing the familiar G2 form factor that ophthalmologists and optometrists have relied on for decades. The Marco G2 Ultra slit lamp is paired with a Haag-Streit 870 applanation tonometer, making this a complete anterior segment and IOP measurement station at a used-equipment price.
The National Library of Medicine confirms that slit-lamp biomicroscopy is the gold standard for anterior segment evaluation — optical system quality directly affects diagnostic accuracy and clinician confidence during examination.
What's Included

- Haag-Streit 870 applanation tonometer
- Table top and unit arm
- Patient chin and head rest
- Power cable
- Instruction manual
- 90-day Digital Eye Center warranty
Why Practices Choose the Marco G2 Ultra Slit Lamp
- Ultra Series multi-coated optics — proprietary multi-layer coatings deliver 20% more light transmission and 20% higher optical resolution than the standard G2 for a brighter, sharper view with less glare and flare
- 15% wider field of view — take in more of the anterior segment without repositioning; 14% deeper depth of field extends the focus range for corneal and anterior chamber detail
- 3-step Galilean magnification drum — 10×, 16×, and 25× total magnification; 6° converging binocular tubes reduce eye strain and head movement during extended exam sessions
- Full slit control — continuous height 1–14 mm, continuous width 0–14 mm, full 0°–180° rotation for optic section, diffuse, and indirect illumination techniques
- Complete filter set — cobalt-blue for fluorescein evaluation, red-free for vascular contrast, heat-absorbing standard; UV protection built in
- Haag-Streit 870 applanation tonometer included — Goldmann-type IOP measurement mounted on the slit lamp; no separate NCT or tonometer stand required
- Table-top and unit arm compatible — fits standard exam lane tables; optional electric table mount available for ergonomic positioning
Clinical Applications
- Anterior segment biomicroscopy — corneal evaluation, conjunctival inspection, anterior chamber depth assessment, and iris examination; enhanced optics improve detail in subtle pathology
- Intraocular pressure measurement — Goldmann applanation tonometry with Haag-Streit 870 for glaucoma screening, monitoring, and diagnosis without a separate instrument
- Contact lens fitting and follow-up — cobalt blue fluorescein pattern evaluation at all three magnification levels; wider FOV aids full lens coverage assessment
- Corneal foreign body and trauma evaluation — high-magnification optic section with superior light transmission for depth assessment and foreign body localization
- Cataract grading and IOL inspection — slit beam nuclear sclerosis grading and post-op IOL review; improved resolution supports accurate Lens Opacity Classification grading
- Dry eye and ocular surface evaluation — red-free filter and enhanced light transmission support tear film assessment and meibomian gland inspection
Who This Is For
- Ophthalmology and optometry practices that want better optics than a standard G2 at the same used-equipment price point
- Clinics replacing aging standard G2 or halogen slit lamps — same familiar Marco controls, meaningfully better optical performance
- Multi-location groups standardizing on Marco instruments across exam lanes
- High-volume practices where optical clarity and reduced eye strain over long exam days matters
- Budget-conscious buyers who want the best optics available in the used slit lamp segment without paying for new
