  • Whether it is camera ready or includes an imaging system.

Common questions

What should I ask about a used slit lamp?

Ask for clear photos of the optics, a video of the magnification and illumination working, and what is included: table, power supply and spare bulbs.

Can I add a camera to a slit lamp?

Many slit lamps accept a beam splitter and camera adapter. Ask the seller for the model and check that an adapter is available for it.

How should a slit lamp be shipped?
