BX 900 Slit Lamp

Superior Technology – Reliable Instrument

The Haag-Streit BX 900 slit lamp combines the latest imaging technology with the proven versatility, optical brilliance and me­chanical quality of the Haag-Streit tradition. The BX 900 is the leading slit lamp imaging device and is designed to assist the Ophthalmic Photographer in his demanding profession.

Ophthalmic imaging of the highest possible quality is ensured with an integrated flash, fully synchronised with camera and slit and background illumination, all controlled through a re­lease mechanism directly beside the slit lamp joystick, as well as adaptors for a variety of top of the range digital single lens reflex cameras.

The camera is mounted above the microscope, thus allowing ease of access to the patient. This is especially useful when pho­tographing in conjunction with hand-held diagnostic lenses.

Xenon Flash

Optimal luminous efficacy

The high power flash illumination is delivered via a xenon tube that lies coaxially to the LED illumination and thus exactly reproduces the slit illumination pattern to provide images of stunning quality. The brightness of the flash is individuallyadjustable for slit and background illumination.

Mirror Housing

Camera integration and synchronisation

The heart of the BX 900 is the mirror housing with its built-in diaphragms. When capturing an image, all light is directed via a mirror to the camera. This allows the maximum utilisation of the available light: 100 % for the examination and 100 % for the image. The built-in diaphragm setting with five apertures is applied on image capture.

Shutter Release

Precise image capturing

Conveniently mounted close to the operator’s hand, this can easily be utilised whilst continuously maintaining focus with the slit lamp joystick. As it is symmetric on the cross slide, it allows right- and left-handed operation.

Eyepieces

A large range of different eyepieces are available, such as a reticule eye­piece for estimating length and angles, McIntire grid for estimating endo­thelial cells or crosshair reticule for imaging.

Contact Lenses

The best-known lens of the Haag-Streit range of diagnostic lenses is the 903 original Goldmann three-mirror lens, offering the traditional 59°, 66° and 73° angles. But besides this famous contact lens, Haag-Streit lenses cover all areas of the eye and are available as diagnostic and laser lenses.

Stery Cup

Stery Cup is a disposable shield for use with 3-Mirror and Retina 145 lenses. The optically neutral, sterile cups are designed for single use and signifi­cantly reduce the risk of bacterial transfer.

Headrest with Fixation Device

The headrest has been designed according to anatomical criteria and in­cludes an adjustable chinrest. The fixation device permits uninterrupted observation and simultaneous guidance of the patient’s eye. Both help to make examination comfortable for operator and patient.
