CSO Model SL 990/5X

This used CSO Model SL 990/5X slit lamp is a variant of CSO's SL990 platform, built to provide reliable stereoscopic examination of the anterior segment of the eye. The instrument offers adjustable magnification, typically across several steps, along with a variable slit beam for controlled illumination during corneal, iris, and lens examination. CSO's optical engineering gives this unit a clear, bright image suited to both routine and more detailed anterior segment work. The SL 990/5X includes a joystick controlled base for precise, smooth positioning, and its illumination arm allows the examiner to adjust beam width, height, and angle to match the diagnostic task at hand. It is a practical instrument for optometry and ophthalmology practices performing general eye exams, contact lens fittings, and monitoring of anterior segment conditions. Its multi step magnification changer gives added flexibility compared to simpler single magnification slit lamps. As a used instrument, this unit will show cosmetic signs of prior use but remains functional for continued clinical service. It represents a solid mid tier option for practices wanting the added versatility of multiple magnification settings without paying new equipment prices.
