See the eye’s true colors and cornea to retina tissue differentiation like never before.
A Milestone in Slit Lamp Engineering
Inspired to take the best that exists and make it better we created a slit lamp that pushes the boundaries of performance, reliability and total cost of ownership. Designed without compromise, new levels of tissue observation and unprecedented field of views have been achieved. The breakthrough 4300K LED illumination delivers radiant light and high-contrast anterior segment viewing that impresses even the most discerning eye care physicians.Such gains in tissue observation were once difficult, if not impossible to carry out with conventional tungsten and halogen illumination. We didn’t stop there, we never do, the mechanical system exemplifies attention to detail and encompasses a host of outstanding features. It’s the result of complete creative and engineering freedom.You’ll find our team to be professional, responsive and passionate abouteverything we do. Rest assured, everyone on our team is here to insure that your overall experience is nothing short of exceptional. Welcome to IBEX.
Breakthrough Color Temperature
Simply stated, IBEX’s LED driven 4300K color temperature breaks the barriers of conventional slit lamp observation. The homogenous radiant white light delivers a host of observation gains including enhanced tissue fluorescence, better tissue differentiation, increased depth of field and shadow reduction – the latter is especially useful during increasingly popular indirect illumination.Not familiar with color temperature? Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light, usually warm (yellowish), daylight (white) or cool (bluish). It’s measured in degrees of Kelvin (°K). During the past ten years the 4000K-4500K range has evolved as the color temperature of choice in today’s high-end operating microscopes and modern surgical suites for good reason: It creates superb contrast and enables surgeons to better differentiate tissue.
Advanced Optics: Pushing the Boundaries
IBEX’s 5-Step Galilean optical design incorporates a conventional design that includes three sets of lenses within a small turret and a rotating drum that places five magnifications at your fingertips. Thereafter, the new optical design is anything but conventional. A sophisticated integration of wide-field eye pieces, prisms, lenses and light-enhancing coatings deliver pure light transmission, stunning clarity and large ,industry first 43mm field of view. Overall, it’s the convergence of modern advances in optics applied to a proven optical design.
Superb Light Efficiency
One of the most significant advances in lens design during recent years is improved lens coating technology. Today’s coatings greatly enhance the way the optics reflect and transmit light. Ibex lenses embrace these advances and after painstaking and meticulous fine tuning of coatings, layer thicknesses and refractive indices, we minimized light loss, balanced output and increased brightness 20% to 60% compared to bare illumination. The result is robust, homogeneous luminance and sharp, edge-to-edge viewing virtually free of chromatic aberration.
Extraordinary LED Illumination
The single element LED is an evolution in slit lamp engineering. With high-contrast color temperature, impressive color rendering and exceptional illumination range of 24,420 lux to more than 1,000,000 lux, the IBEX LED is exceptional during direct, indirect and diffuse illumination.With excellent ventilation and the latest heat managing materials, the IBEX LED will operate with consistency for 10,000-20,000 hours, virtually eliminating downtime due to spent illumination sources.Further, to help improve patient comfort and safety during higher intensity observation, IBEX LED slit lamps minimize beam temperature and radiant energy with 80%-90% less heat to the patient’s eye, as compared to tungsten and halogen illumination.
Safety First – For Patients and Physicians
The Elimination of UV and IRWhile the human eye is specifically designed to sense a small portion of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum (i.e. visible light), it is also susceptible to damage when exposed to high energy levels across the EM spectrum. IBEX’s illumination system utilizes a combination of proprietary technologies to block dangerous infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) light. These breakthroughs in UV and IR protection substantially reduce retinal irradiation during retinal visualization.Fine-Tuned SpectrumThe output illumination optimizes irradiance within specific 460-470nm and 570-580nm wavelengths. The result is distinct peaks of irradiance for enhanced viewing of the anterior chamber plus added versatility of improved fundus observation.Tower Design VersatilityIBEX’s tower illumination design provides 5-20 degrees vertical tilt towards the patient to move the slit below horizontal. This helps reduce shadowing during indirect illumination and illuminates the oblique muscle during gonioscopy. Additionally, a control knob conveniently located at the bottom of the tower enables quick left or right slit decentration (+/- 5 degrees), narrowly offsetting the tower to illuminate the sclera.
Specialized Diffuser
The external diffuser is standard and can be effectively used to spread and soften illumination within a particular region. It’s especially useful when photographing the anterior segment.

Finally, a simple and fast way to level your slit lamp – regardless of sloped floors or bent slit lamp arms. Just mount your IBEX slit lamp on your instrument stand – the same as always – then use the included hex key to turn the leveling screws. That’s it and the System is included as a standard accessory with every IBEX slit lamp. We’re the first to offer such a system at no additional cost.
The Environment
LED illumination not only provides a superior platform for our engineers to carry out highly customized and very specific performance standards, it also reflects our commitment to efficiency and reducing waste. Designed to last more than 10,000 hours, when compared to conventional incandescent and halogen bulbs that typically last 60-90 hours, there really is no comparison.The LED converts 80% of electrical power into light, with minimal heat production. It’s very efficient while tungsten (incandescent) and halogen light, in contrast, convert only 20% of the electrical energy to light — the rest is lost to heat.
