FAQ
Which slit lamp should I buy — this, the 3-Step ($1,799), or the 2-Step Package ($2,499)?
This ($1,299) if budget is tight + you want the brighter 12V/50W halogen. 3-Step ($1,799) if you need 5×/10×/20× steps for pathology-heavy ophthalmology. 2-Step Package ($2,499) if you want everything turnkey with installation guide + upgraded 15× eyepieces + free shipping.
Why is 12V 50W better than 6V 20W?
2.5× brighter — matters for dense cataracts, dark-irised patients, and posterior lens capsule assessment. Also matters for slit-beam photography via camera adapter. Only downside: bulb runs hotter, requires slightly more airflow around lamp housing.
Does this include a chin rest?
Standard chin rest + forehead strap included as part of the slit lamp base assembly. Not a separate accessory.
