Reichert
Xcel 455
Five-magnification slit lamp from 6.5x to 40x with six apertures, slit inclination, and an LED fixation lamp for detailed anterior segment work.
Overview
The Xcel 455 steps the Xcel platform up for practices that examine in more detail. Five drum-selected magnifications run from a wide 6.5x survey view to 40x fine inspection, and the illumination column adds slit inclination, six apertures, and a neutral density filter to the standard set. A white LED fixation lamp on the chinrest and generous base travel round out a lamp Reichert positions for discriminating operators.

What to ask on a demo
A demo is worth more when you arrive with your own cases and a list of questions. Here is what we would raise.
- Examine at 6.5x and 40x to feel the range difference
- Use the slit inclination on an angle or lens evaluation
- Compare against the Xcel 255 for your actual daily mix
