Cold Light Source
The Cold Light Source consist of:
- Fibre Optic cable of different lengths
- Background Illumination for units
- Holder for fibre optic cable
- Pivoting mirror
Pivoting Mirror
Homogeneous background illumination is an essential for good slit lamp imaging. This is provided through an optional, high output fibre optic light source and either a holder mounted to the illumination device or by a separate swivelling device (pivoting mirror) which moves independently of the slit lamp illumination.
The Haag-Streit cold light source utilizes aperture control over illumination output rather then voltage control that is common in some devices. The colour temperature remains constant regardless of output level. Haag-Streit recommends the cold light source for optimum imaging results.
Drawer
The cold light source is available as a drawer for the HSM 901 tables or with a mounting bracket for 3rd party tables and units / stands. On the BD 900 the fibre optic cable is mounted underneath the mirror.
