The Labomed LX 400 LED Binocular Microscope represents a high-end solution for critical visual analysis in academic, clinical, and industrial sectors. Positioned in the premium routine segment, the LX 400 often features advanced Plan Achromatic or Semi-Plan objectives, delivering superior optical clarity, resolution, and an extended, flatter field of view compared to entry-level models. This exceptional optical quality is vital for detailed morphological studies and accurate differential cell counts. The robust mechanical system ensures smooth, precise movements for both coarse and fine focusing, crucial for maintaining focus at high magnifications. Its ergonomic design, combined with powerful, color-corrected LED illumination, makes the LX 400 an ideal instrument for pathologists and researchers undertaking long working hours, ensuring minimal visual strain.
Significance
The LX 400's significance lies in its advanced optical train, which minimizes chromatic and spherical aberrations, providing highly corrected images across a wider field. This quality is paramount for critical diagnostic work where subtle cellular details must be resolved accurately.
Applications
Core applications include high-resolution pathology (biopsy analysis), advanced haematology, detailed microbiology and bacteriology, and high-level college and university teaching. For documentation, the Labomed LX 400 Trinocular is the recommended digital counterpart.
Uses
It is used extensively in research centres in Bangalore and Pune, as well as in veterinary diagnostics and material science labs. Its durability and advanced features make it suitable for challenging research projects both in India and internationally.
What defines the "high-end" performance of the LX 400?
The LX 400's superior performance is primarily attributed to its advanced optics (Plan Achromat/Semi-Plan), which offer better contrast, higher resolution, and a significantly flatter field of view compared to standard Achromat objectives.
Is the Binocular LX 400 suitable for future digital upgrades?
While this is a dedicated binocular model, digital imaging requires a trinocular port. For easy digital upgradeability, we highly recommend purchasing the
Labomed LX 400 Trinocular model.
Does the LX 400 support advanced illumination techniques?
Yes, the LX 400's precise condenser and illumination system is typically compatible with accessories for advanced techniques like Phase Contrast and Darkfield, making it versatile for specialized research.
How does the LX 400 compare to the LX 500 series?
The
LX 500 series represents the top tier, often featuring infinity optics and more advanced ergonomic adjustments, making it suitable for professional research and high-demand applications.
Where can I find other Labomed specialized microscopes?
You can explore specialized microscopes like the
TCM 400 Inverted Microscope, which are designed for tissue culture and live cell observation.
