Lx 500 DETAILED OBSERVATION PROCEDURE TURNING THE LAMP ON 1. Flip the main switch to “I” (ON) as shown in figure 13. Fig. 13 2. Rotating the light intensity adjustment knob (Fig. 14) in the direction of the arrow increases brightness and rotating knob in the opposite direction decreases brightness. - Page 18 Lx 500 Cover glass Cover glass This is the glass plate placed 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 19 Lx 500 ADJUSTING THE INTERPUPILLARY 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 20 Lx 500 CENTERING THE CONDENSER There is a possibility of having the condenser de-centered during shipping. it is mandatory to check the centering before observing the specimen as it is required to distribute even light to the specimen. For models with Koehler illumination: 1.
