Description
The Kowa SL-19 plus is a portable hand-held slit lamp developed for veterinary ophthalmic examinations and digital documentation. Its integrated wireless camera allows veterinarians to view, capture and store ocular images on a compatible Apple iPad using Kowa’s dedicated application and a wireless LAN connection.
The system combines 10× magnification with a binocular stereoscopic microscope, an approximate working distance of 100 mm and a 15 mm practical field of view. Its camera offers approximately two megapixels of effective resolution and a field of view of approximately 27 × 15 mm.
White LED slit illumination is continuously adjustable from 200 to 20,000 lux. The operator can select slit widths of 0.1, 0.2 or 0.8 mm, fixed slit lengths of 1, 5 and 12 mm, or continuously adjust the slit length between 1.5 and 12 mm.
Independent white background illumination can be used simultaneously with the slit beam. A three-level blue LED supports fluorescein examinations. The included barrier filter improves fluorescence contrast under blue illumination.
Its cordless design and ergonomic trigger-style grip make the SL-19 plus suitable for veterinary hospitals, clinics, examination rooms and mobile services. Captured images support patient records, case monitoring, client communication and treatment evaluations.
