Frequently asked questions
What's the advantage of LED over halogen?
LED illumination lasts 30,000-50,000 hours (5-8+ years typical use) vs halogen 800-1,500 hours (6-18 months). LED runs cooler (no tear-film heating during long exams), consumes 60-70% less power, and has more consistent color temperature over its lifespan. For high-volume + hot/humid climates, LED is a substantial upgrade.
How does SL-1200 compare to Reichert Xcel 250 LED?
Feature parity on the essential optical system — same 3-step magnification range, same Haag-Streit-style Galilean design, same 6-aperture slit, same 4-filter selection. Reichert has slightly better lens coatings + built-in tonometer mount. Price differential: $1,999 vs $5,000-$7,500.
Is the "German optics" claim real?
Lens elements are sourced from European optical glass suppliers (Schott / Ohara equivalent grade). Optical performance testing meets Haag-Streit-style resolution + contrast benchmarks. Final assembly + QC in the SciMed Scientific Industries facility.
Is this really portable?
Portable in the sense that it can be moved between exam rooms without disassembly (~15 kg, one-person carry). Not battery-operated / hand-held. For truly mobile eye care (telemedicine, home visits), consider our Wireless Indirect Ophthalmoscope instead.
How is this shipped?
US: FedEx / UPS Ground insured (~20 kg boxed). International: DHL Express DDP or ocean freight DDP.
