BM 900

Reliable optics – enduring performance

The BM 900 has been the standard in modern slit lamp microscopy for more than 55 years. Over 100,000 professionals all over the world who own a BM 900 agree that it was the best investment they ever made for their practice.

Description

The standard in slit lamp microscopy

A firm favourite with ophthalmic professionals, this classic slit lamp comes equipped with a Kepler microscope, providing standard magnifications of 10x and 16x and boasts a sharp and homogenous slit illumination. The high-quality design, materials and construction of the BM 900 guarantee smooth, effortless movement for the lifetime of the slit lamp.

Classic and reliable optics

Equipped with a Kepler microscope, the BM 900 provides standard magnifications of 10 × and 16 ×. With a set of optional oculars it can be extended to 25 × and 40 × magnification. Like any other Haag-Streit slit lamp, the BM 900 features the best optical components to show all structures of the human eye in every detail.

Sharpest and homogeneous slit

Over the last years, LED illumination has become standard in modern slit lamp microscopy. It delivers our sharpest and most homogeneous slit ever. A tilting frame allows good posterior segment observation, while the defocusing option enhances observation with indirect illumination. All filter and slit controls are conveniently situated for ease of use and, as with the cross slide mechanism, have a silky smooth, effortless movement.
