Slit lamp table (for the IRIDEX slit lamp workstation only) The slit lamp table consists of a tabletop, pedestal, base, casters, cable guides, and the screws necessary for assembly. Once assembled, the electrically-controlled slit lamp table supplies power to the slit lamp.
IRIDEX slit lamp The slit lamp is specially designed to connect to the OcuLight Symphony Adapter. It consists of a patient chinrest and headrest with fixation light, a viewing assembly with oculars, magnification changer and objective lens, an illumination prism, an illumination housing, and a slit lamp base.
OcuLight Symphony Adapter The OcuLight Symphony Adapter attaches to the slit lamp, enabling the slit lamp to be used as the therapeutic device. The adapter has an integral fiber-optic assembly which houses up to three fiber-optic cables: the 532 nm wavelength, the large-spot 810 nm wavelength, and the standard-spot 810 nm wavelength.
