There are two different light sources provided by the objective lens of
X-Loupe® G Series: coaxial lighting (MAIN) and low-angled lighting (SUB).
The coaxial lighting, located on the inner circle, is the direct-projection light
coming out from 8 LEDs; whereas the low-angled lighting, located on the outer
circle, is the lower-angled projection light coming out from the other 8 LEDs.
The brightness indexes of both lighting are adjustable from zero to 5. The
factory default setting of both lighting are ON and brightness index are set to 5.
Switch Button for Lighting Setting
【●】Coaxial Lighting (MAIN)
【○】Low-Angled Lighting (SUB)
【⊕】Quadrant Setting of Low-Angled Lighting (SUB)
Tune Button
Adjust the brightness index of lighting by tuning the button up and down. By
pressing the Tune Button, the brightness index becomes '3'. The quadrant
setting of Low-Angled Lighting (SUB) is also controlled by the Tune Button
when switch to Quadrant Setting of Low-Angled Lighting ⊕. By pressing
the Tune Button, the light of upper left and right quadrants turns on.
Switch Button for Coaxial Lighting
There are 3 kinds of light sources: W (White), F( Functional Illumina tion),
and W+F (White + Functional Illumination).1
When the coaxial lighting is switched to W (White), 'W' is shown on the
LCD monitor; whereas 'F' is shown when switching to F (Functional
Illumination).1
In conventional micro-photography, taking a good picture is so difcult that most
users have to be content with pictures of less-than-expected quality. G Series
change the situation. Equipped with 2 different light sources (coaxial lighting
and low-angled lighting), G Series provide more than 10 different lighting
options. The exible lighting options provide the capability to capture high-
quality pictures for various and changeful subjects. Please refer to the following
operation steps.
(1) Turn ON coaxial lighting; Turn OFF low-angled lighting.

To switch between 4
and 8 LEDs.2
1.F (Functional Illumination) is optional and for the special order only, such as Ultraviolet Light.Unless otherwise
mentioned, each objective lens is equipped with white-colored LED by default.
2.By default, the coaxial lighting is supported by 8 LEDs. Switching to W+F will turn on all 8 LEDs, while W or F only
turns on 4 LEDs. By special order, the coaxial lighting can be equipped with 4 white-light LEDs and 4 Functional
Illumination LEDs.
The picture shown here is lighting
with 4 white-light LEDs.
