  • Page 15: Initial Setup

    Lx 300 INITIAL SETUP OBJECTIVES Objectives are factory set. Objectives are par-centered and par-focalised 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 21 Lx 300 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.
