Page 15: Initial Setup
Lx 400 INITIAL SETUP OBJECTIVES Objectives are factory set. Objectives are par-centered and parfo- calised during assembly. All objectives have been secured for a tight fit to prevent them from coming loose during transit. To remove an objective, rotate it counterclockwise while holding it with a rubber grip to avoid any slippage. -
Page 16: Assembly
Always use the designated bulb. Using a bulb other than those specified by LABOMED may lead to a fore hazard or and low illumination. Fingerprints or stains on the lamp bulb reduce its life. - Page 17 3. Detach connector of connecting wires (shown as 4) 4. Remove two screws (shown as 6) provided on battery clamp with Cross head screw driver. 5. Replace existing Battery with new battery from LABOMED (Refer part no. below) 6. Reverse steps 5 to 1, to complete the process.

Lx 400 SUMMARY OF BRIGHT FIELD OBSERVATION PROCEDURE Flip the main switch to “ON” Place the specimen on the stage. Fuse Holder Main switch Engage the required filters if not pre-installed. Engage the 10X objective in the light path. Bring the specimen in light path using X-Y Motion of mechanical stage. -

Lx 400 DETAILED OBSERVATION PROCEDURE TURNING THE LAMP ON 1. Flip the main switch to “I” (ON) as shown in figure 20. Fig. 20 2. Rotating the light intensity adjustment knob (Fig. 21) in the direction of the arrow increases brightness and rotating knob in the opposite direction decreases brightness. - Page 20 Lx 400 Cover glass Cover glass This is the glass plate paced on the specimen. For optimum optical performance, the cover glass thickness, which is the distance from its surface to the specimen surface, should be 0.17mm. Slide glass Slide glass Fig.
- Page 21 Lx 400 ADJUSTING THE INERPUPILLARY DISTANCE (IPD) The inter-pupillary distance adjustment consists of regulating the two eyepieces to align with both eyes’ pupils so that you can observe a single microscope image through two eyepieces in stereo vision. This greatly helps to reduce fatigue and discomfort during observation.

Page 24: Cleaning & Servicing
Lx 400 CLEANING AND SERVICING 12.1 CLEANING OF OPTICAL SURFACES: The Max lite multi-layer coating of the optical components (e.g. eyepieces objective lenses) ensured optimum images quality. Image quality is impaired by even slight contamination. To protect the internal optics from dust, the system should never be left without the objective lens, binocular tube and eyepieces. - Page 25 Lx 400 Ambient Requirement +10˚C..+40˚C For Operation Temperature Rel.
