OUR STAR TODAY IS SLIT LAMPS FROM HANS HEISS. KOREAN MADE, WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTED. For each need you have a solution in HANS HEISS. WHAT IS IT AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR? The slit lamp, also called a bio-microscope, allows your eye doctor to get a highly magnified view of the structures of your eye and thoroughly evaluate the health of your eye and detect any signs of infection, disease or abnormalities. The lamp facilitates an examination of the anterior segment, frontal structures and posterior segment, of the human eye, which includes the eyelid, sclera, conjunctiva, iris, natural crystalline lens, and cornea. The binocular slit-lamp examination provides a stereoscopic magnified view of the eye structures in detail, enabling anatomical diagnoses to be made for a variety of eye conditions. A second hand-held lens is used to examine the retina. A wide range of eye conditions and diseases can be detected with slit-lamp examination such ascataracts, macular degeneration, corneal ulcers and diabetic retinopathy. Some of the different ways to enhance its productivity is by adding Illumination- Halogen, LED and yellow LED, Beam splitter, Digital Camera Adapter, and Tonometer. It also comes in 2X,3X and 5 Magnifications. High speed and resolution, on the : Image Capture System (Video), Digital Camera and Electric - Focus Digital Module Slit Lamp Microscope. Microscope: Galilean-Type. Tower style. LOOK ON THE HISTORY…………………….. The first man credited with developments in this field was Hermann Von Helmholtz (1850) when he invented the ophthalmoscope. The first concept of the slit lamp dates back to 1911 credited to Gullstrand and his -large reflection-free ophthalmoscope-. However, the instrument never received much attention and the term -slit lamp- did not appear in any literature again until 1914. It was not until 1919 that several improvements were made. First, a mechanical connection was made between lamp and ophthalmoscopic lens. This illumination unit was mounted to the table column. The binocular microscope was supported on a small stand and could be moved freely across the tabletop. Later, a cross slide stage was used for this purpose. Vogt introduced Koehler illumination, and the reddish shining Nernst glower was replaced with the brighter and whiter incandescent lamp. At this time the great importance of color temperature and the luminance of the light source for slit lamp examinations were recognized and the basis created for examinations in red-free light. In 1927, stereo cameras were developed and added to the slit lamp. In 1938 joystick was used for the first time to allow for horizontal movement. In 1950, Littmann added the stereo telescope system. In 1976 halogen lamps replaced the old illumination systems In 1996 included the advantages of new slit lamp optics. WE ARE HANS HEISS SLIT LAMP
