Lx 500

The Lx 500 is a research microscope with a modern design and the latest in optical and mechanical

advancements. Designed for professionals as well as clinicians, this microscope offers many features and

functions for a diverse of applications. Here are some of the benefits of the Lx500:

-Extra clarity and contrast is provided through a 360° rotatable Binocular/ Trinocular body inclined at 30°

with IPD adjustments. A 0-30° tiltable ergonomic head is provided for adjustable viewing height accord-

ing to the user’ height, enhancing the user’s comfort .

- The stand consists of a ball bearing, low-friction mechanism.

-The sturdy, modern design provides a high degree of comfort and stability.

-The high powered objectives are spring loaded to prevent accidental damage to specimen slides.

-The reverse angle quadruple nose piece has a comfortable ribbed grip for easy rotation that also safe

-guards the turret system against any damage. All positions are par-centered and par-ensuring the

highest level of accuracy.

-The ball bearing mechanical stage allows smooth travel over a 76 x 50mm area with spring loaded stage

clamps for retaining the specimen at the exact position desired. A 0.1mm verier scale aids inmeasure-

ment.

-High power illumination is delivered through our Universal Power Supply and operates with

any 100V-240V AC input. This ensures continuous operation even under fluctuation voltages

environments .

-Our Halogen bulb (6V-30W) has an average life span of upto 500 hours. The LED has an average life of

50,000 hours.

-The Lx 500 comes equipped with a removable flip top N.A. 1.25 Abbe condenser with aspheric lens for

brighter Illumination levels, and an diaphragm for better resolution and contrast control.

SAFETY SYMBOLS

The following symbols are found on the microscope. For optimal use, it is recommended that users

Understand these symbols and always use the equipment as prescribed.

Symbol Explanation

This surface has a tendency to heat up and should not be touched unless

System has completely cooled down.

Before use, carefully read the instruction manual. Improper use could result in

Injury to the user and/or damage to the equipment.

Main switch is ON.

Warning against risk of electric shock.

Main switch is OFF

SAFETY INFORMATION

1. After the microscope has been used for observation of a speci

-men containing bacteria, clean all parts coming in contact with

the specimen to prevent infection.

•Be sure to remove the specimen before moving this product.

•In case the specimen is damaged by erroneous operation, it is

important to clean all surfaces that may have come in contact

with the specimen.

2. Install microscope on a sturdy, level table or bench and avoid any restriction of air vents in the base of

the unit.

Do not place microscope on a flexible surface, as this could result in blocking the air vents and cause

overheating.

3. Always use the power cord provided by LABOMED. If the proper power cord is not used, product safety

performance cannot be warranted.

4. When installing the microscope, route the power cord away from the microscope frame. Should the

power cord come in contact with the microscopes base, the power cord could melt due to overexposure

to heat.

5. Always ensure that the grounding terminal of the microscope and that of the wall outlet are properly

connected. If the unit is not grounded, LABOMED can not warrant electrical safety.

6. Never allow metallic objects to penetrate the air vents of the microscope frame as this could result in

user injury and damage to the microscope.

7. After operation of microscope, be sure to disconnect power cord from connector socket of the microscope

or from the wall power outlet.

If the microscope is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the safety of the user may not be

warranted. In addition, the equipment may also suffer damage. Always use the equipment as outlined in

this instruction manual.

1. A microscope is a precision instrument with delicate glass compo-

nents. Please handle with care.

2. Do not use the microscope where it is subjected to direct sunlight,

high temperature, humidity, dust and vibrations. ( For the operat

-ing conditions, see chapter 14. “SPECIFICATIONS”)

3. The microscope is ventilated by natural convention. Be sure to

leave enough space (10cm or more) around body when installing

the unit.

4. Arm handle is provided for carrying the microscope.

To prevent damage, do not hold the microscope by the stage or

observation tube.

Be sure to remove the specimen from the stage clip while

transporting unit to avoid damage of the specimen slide.

1. Clean all glass components by wiping gently with cleaning cloth provided. To remove fingerprints or oil

smudges, wipe with cleaning cloth slightly moistened with a mixture of petroleum (85%) and isopropa-

nol (15%).

Since solvents such as petroleum and isopropanol are highly flammable, they must be handled carefully.

Be sure to keep these chemicals away from open flames or potential Sources of electrical sparks - For

Example, electrical equipment that is being switched “ON” or “OFF”. Also remember to always use these

chemicals only in a well-ventilated room.

2. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the microscope components other than the glass compo-

nents. To clean non-glass components, use a lint-free, soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted

neutral detergent.

3. Do not disassemble any part of the microscope as this could result in malfunction or mitigated perfor

-mance.

4. When not using the microscope, ensure that the frame is fully

cooled before storing the unit in a dry locker or covering with a

dust cover (provided).

5. To clean the condenser, fully loosen the securing knobs and

remove the condenser then, wipe the front lens of the

condenser with optical cleaning solution (mixture suggested

above) and lens tissue.

The condenser can be re-attached by replacing it in its seat,

tightening securing knobs, and raising condenser bracket

to desired position.

6. Be sure to observe your local rules/regulation for product

disposal.

Caution

Zig-zag motion (X) Spiral motion ( )

Your microscope had been engineered for a long and safe operational life with the minimal maintenance

required. In general, routine maintenance is limited to keeping the microscope working parts lubricated

and optics clean. Always cover the microscope with a dust cover when not in use.

Optical Cleaning

1. The objective have been adjusted for a tight fit to prevent any damage during transportation. To remove

an objective, rotate it counterclockwise while gripping it with a rubber sheet, etc. to avoid any slip page.

2. To clean the lens surfaces, remove dust using a soft brush or gauze (compressed air dust cans are

ideal). For removing finger marks or grease, soft cotton cloth or lens tissue lightly moistened

with cleaning solution ( 85% petroleum ether and 15% isopeopanol) should be used. For cleaning the

optics, use Meathanol. Observe sufficient caution in handling Methanol. Place the Objective and/ or

eyepieces on a dust free surfaces (e.g. aluminum foil). All other optical components to be cleaned should

be as accessible as possible.

3. Blow all loose dust particles away with a dust blower.

4. Remove all water-soluble dirt with distilled water. If this is unsuccessful repeat using a solution of

diluted hand soap liquid. Remove any remaining residue with a dry cotton swab.

5. To remove oil, use a solution of diluted hand-soap liquid initially. If this does not produce a satisfac-

tory result, repeat the cleaning using a solvent (Optical Cleaning Solution 85% petroleum ether and

15% isopropanol).

6. Grease must always be removed using a solvent.

7. Cleaning is achieved by using a spiral motion from the center to the rim. Never wipe using zig-zag

movements as this will only spread the dirt. With larger optical surfaces (e.g. tube lenses) the spiral

motion starts initially at the rim before to the middle and is only then followed by a center to rim

cleaning motion. Several spiral wipes are recommended.

We recommend pure, volatile petroleum ether or Optical Cleaning Solution as explained above.

Wipe using a spiral movement. Do not use a zig-zag motion!

Cleaning of painted surfaces

Avoid the use of any organic solvent (e.g. thinner, xylene, ether, alcohol etc.) for cleaning of painted

surfaces of the instrument. Painted surfaces can be cleaned with a very lightly moistened micro fiber

cloth. Loose dust and other dirt particles can be removed using a soft bristle brush .
