Description
The Reichert Xcel® 255 is a compact slit lamp designed to provide optical clarity, clinical versatility and straightforward operation for routine ophthalmic examinations. Its Galilean microscope incorporates wide-field optics and three selectable magnifications—10×, 16× and 25×—controlled through a convenient rotating system.
The 6 V, 20 W halogen illumination system provides adjustable slit width and height, four slit apertures and 180-degree slit rotation. Red-free, cobalt-blue and heat-absorbing filters support different anterior-segment examination techniques.
A feather-touch XYZ joystick provides smooth longitudinal, lateral and vertical positioning. Conveniently located controls, an adjustable chinrest and compatibility with optional Reichert tonometry and imaging accessories make the Xcel 255 a practical examination solution for optometry and ophthalmology practices.
