Slit Lamp Microscopes - S12-18 Reusable Prism

 

TAKAGI S12-18 Reusable Prism 

Measuring Prism S12-18 (option) features an integrated structure that reduces infection risk.

Its environmentally conscious design is ideal for re-use, and enables highly accurate and safe intraocular pressure measurement.

Methacrylic resin, one of the hardest and most highly transparent optical-use plastic materials, is used to realise brightness and clarity of observation and to product life.

 

 

Smart Structure

Since the prism part (grey part on the figure) including the side surface is an integrated structure, there is a lower risk of infection from the residual left in the boundary which some manufacturers use their measuring prism.
