	Nikon MicroscopyU: Museum of Microscopy - Slit Lamp CS-1 Microscope
		Nikon slit lamp microscopes are used by ophthalmologists to directly examine the eyes of a patient under the magnification of a binocular microscope by creating a stereoscopic, erect image.
		To position the lamp, the focusing rod is erected and it is adjusted until the fl surface faces the operator.
		The lamp housing is adjusted vertically and is centered until the image of the slit is projected onto the fl surface and there is even illumination across the field of view.

	The Evolution of Slit Lamp Biomicroscopy - Ophthalmology Technology Spotlight - Medcompare
		Slit lamps have evolved significantly since their advent in the early 1900s, and many of today’s slit lamp biomicroscopes are sophisticated instruments building on the discoveries of the past century.
		The modern slit lamp biomicroscope was born, a powerful diagnostic tool capable of stereoscopically examining optical sections of the anterior segment in great detail.
		A slit lamp’s resolution is dependent on the wavelength of light used, the refractive index between the eye and objective, the working distance, and the diameter of the objective lens.

		The slit lamp, also known as a biomicroscope, is one instrument that’s a must for all ophthalmic professionals.
		A slit lamp consists of a light tower, a filter pack, an aperture, eyepieces, light intensity control, a base, and a “joystick.” The joystick is used like a computer game controller to move the light source and optics around when scanning.
		They are perfect for the practitioner who needs slit lamp capabilities in remote settings like nursing homes, clinics, humanitarian missions, and in multiple offices, etc. They also are helpful when you can’t place a patient behind a tabletop model, such as a small child or a person in a wheelchair.

	Slit lamp examination, Practical
		Adjust the height of the slit lamp until the slit beam is centred vertically on the patient's eye.
		The slit lamp offers a variety of illuminating and observing methods which do not all have to be used in routine examination, but the ability to perform them should be practised.
		When using the slit lamp direct and indirect illumination are viewed simultaneously, structures viewed in the illuminated field are seen under direct illumination, but as this does not fill the whole of the field of view, anything which reflects or scatters light from outside the illuminated area is being viewed by indirect.

		When the slit beam is focused sharply on the cornea, the beam will be in focus through the biomicroscope and will be isocentric or always centered in the viewing field no matter the angle of illumination or viewing.
		The photographic biomicroscope differs slightly from the clinical biomicroscope by having a beam splitter transmit a percentage (50% or 30%) of light to the viewing oculars and reflect the remainder of the light to the camera.
		Fine slit beam illumination is created by removing the diffusing filter from the main light illuminator and reducing the beam width to a fine slit.
