Ezer Slit Lamp ESL-Emerald-8 3X
The ESL-Emerald-8 is the first of the Ezer ESL-Emerald slit lamps to incorporate a convergent binocular microscope for greater light-gathering power than that of Greenough designs. Japanese optics and build ensure first-rate image quality. The precise magnification and focus of the oculars, together with the tower illuminator and adjustable slit beam, make the ESL-Emerald-8 a mainstay of the comprehensive evaluation of every anatomical eye compartment.

The "3 Steps" ESL-Emerald-8 derives its name from the adjustable magnification power obtained by the simple rotation of a 3-step drum. The 10x, 16x and 25x objective grant detailed observation of the eye, making it an efficient instrument to screen for ocular pathologies.
This slit lamp model offers a 12° convergent stereo view with high resolution. The pupillary distance is adjustable to a wide range (53 - 83 mm) compared to other models allowing for a more pleasant patient experience.
The efficient design of the instrument incorporates a built-in C-mount where a camera can be attached for capture of observed abnormalities and easier record keeping.
The ESL-Emerald-8 supports tower illumination from either halogen or durable Ezer LED sources. This reliable and durable Japanese instrument incorporates precise illumination, premium optics and superb versatility to provide quality contrast-rich images for reliable diagnosis and detailed monitoring of disease progression. Incorporating the latest LED Technology to ensure the best spectrum of light for slit lamp observation to identify eye diseases at early stages. The high illumination LED is built for longevity and decreases the energy consumption of the instrument making it the most dependable choice for daily use over many years. Even if the LED lamp house needs to be changed someshow, users do not have to change the whole column part since the lamp house assembly itself is replaceable. This energy saving light source generates no UV and less heat, which reduces the stress to patient’s eye. The illumination LED have the same color as the ilumination Halogen.
The ESL-Emerald-8 has a half-moon type column which can accommodate an attachable laser system for use in laser surgery.
The ergonomic design allows for easy light volume control as the illumination control knob is at the base of the device and in close proximity to the joystick. The visual health doctors can make light intensity adjustments without moving their hand away from the joystick.
The base of the device houses the joystick, and its color is selectable from a variety of cover options to match your theme.
A range of filters ensures the efficient detection of subtle anomalies, injuries and sign of disease. Aside from the standard filters incorporated in the ESL-Emerald-8 which allows easy exposure of aberrant vascularization and fluoresceine visualization, Ezer provides a variety of filter options for easy upgradability. Simultaneous video and still photography capabilities are granted by the attachable digital camera beam splitter and increase the ease of documenting observed pathologies for patient records.
The Japanese ESL-Emerald-TN tonometer(sold separately) is a precision application tonometer designed to mount onto slit lamp equipped stereomicroscopes used for measuring intraocular pressure (IOP). The ESL-Emerald-TN works by contacting the applanation measuring cone to the eye and slowly applying pressure to the corneal surface using the measurement until it temporarily flattens.
