300mm Slit Lamp Objective Lens — Extended Working Distance for 3-Step Slit Lamp Microscope
300mm Slit Lamp Objective Lens — Extended Working Distance for 3-Step Slit Lamp Microscope
Couldn't load pickup availability
Replacement / upgrade 300mm focal length objective lens for the 3-Step Haag-Streit-type slit lamp microscope — extends working distance from standard 200mm to 300mm. Optimized for procedures requiring more clearance between microscope and patient: office laryngoscopy, deep-field ENT examination, veterinary large-animal ophthalmic exam, and workflows that need surgical instrument clearance. Direct swap-in replacement — no calibration or optical alignment required.

Why extend from 200mm to 300mm?
Standard slit lamp objectives use 200mm focal length — optimized for anterior segment biomicroscopy where microscope + operator can sit close to the patient. But some workflows need extra clearance:
- Office laryngoscopy — long rigid laryngoscope needs clearance in front of microscope
- Deep-field ENT examination — nasal cavity + posterior pharynx examination
- Rhinology + turbinate reduction — endoscopic instrument clearance
- Veterinary large-animal ophthalmology — horse + cattle eye exam where operator can't get close
- Surgical instrument working room — cataract surgery + minor surgical procedures
- Pediatric ophthalmology — child patient + parent-hold configuration
Best for
- ENT practices adding rhinology + laryngology to slit lamp workflow
- Veterinary ophthalmology (large + small animal)
- Multi-specialty eye clinics + ENT clinics
- Academic teaching programs (student practice with instruments)
- Small surgical practices doing minor operating room work at slit lamp
- International multi-specialty clinics via DDP

FAQ
Does this fit other slit lamps besides SciMed?
Standard slit lamp objective thread. Should fit most 3-Step + 2-Step Haag-Streit-type slit lamps (Reichert Xcel, generic Chinese slit lamps, SciMed 3-Step). Not compatible with Zeiss SL 130 or Topcon SL-D701 (proprietary Zeiss/Topcon threads). Email us your slit lamp model to confirm before ordering.
Do I need to recalibrate after swap?
No — objectives are optically independent of the slit lamp body. Direct swap in 30 seconds. Magnification scale on the changer wheel remains accurate (magnification is objective-lens-independent for slit lamps).
What magnification with 300mm objective?
Same magnification (5x/10x/20x with 15x eyepieces = 15x/30x/60x total) as the standard 200mm objective. Only working distance changes — from 200mm to 300mm. Field of view slightly larger at each mag step.
