Slit Lamp

A microscope with a light source that can be projected into a linear beam. It allows cross-sectional viewing of the AQUEOUS HUMOR; CONJUNCTEIVA; CORNEA; EYELIDS; IRIS; and lens (see LENS, EYE) of the eye.

Keratitis 12/01/2006 - "In the mouse study, slit-lamp examination on days 3, 4, 5, and 7 revealed that all 5 ACV and VACV treatment groups were significantly more effective in improving symptoms of herpetic epithelial keratitis versus control (P < 0.05). " 10/01/2017 - "The efficacy of a new treatment strategy was validated using the novel neutropenic mouse keratitis model and monitored by slit-lamp microscopy, confocal microscopy, and colony forming unit measurements. " 07/01/2004 - "Confocal microscopy revealed that in spite of normal appearance on slit-lamp microscopy, micromorphological alterations persisted after spontaneous resolution of stage 4 diffuse lamellar keratitis." 06/01/2023 - "The aim of this study was to facilitate deep learning systems in image annotations for diagnosing keratitis type by developing an automated algorithm to classify slit-lamp photographs (SLPs) based on illumination technique.
