The Labomed LX 400 LED Trinocular Microscope is engineered for high-level professional work, serving critical roles in advanced pathology, research laboratories, and pharmaceutical analysis where digital documentation and superior optics are mandatory. The core strength of the LX 400 lies in its Plan Achromatic or Semi-Plan objectives, which provide an exceptionally flat, high-resolution field of view essential for quantitative imaging and accurate morphological analysis. The addition of the trinocular port allows seamless integration with high-end microscopy cameras for effortless image capture, measurements, and real-time remote collaboration (tele-pathology). This model offers the perfect balance of robust, ergonomic design for sustained manual use and advanced optical quality required for digital applications. It is widely preferred by institutions across the Middle East, Europe, and major research hubs in India for its reliable performance and cost-effectiveness in the high-end routine category.
Significance
The convergence of Plan optics and the trinocular viewing head elevates this microscope from a routine lab tool to a powerful documentation and teaching platform, ensuring digital images accurately reflect the specimen's features without edge distortion.
Applications
Ideal for high-throughput diagnostics, advanced medical college training, complex haematology, material science, and quality control. For tasks requiring even greater resolution and features, consider the Labomed LX 500 Trinocular.
Uses
Used for publishing scientific papers, virtual pathology presentations, precise cellular measurements, and comprehensive sample archiving in labs across Delhi, Mumbai, and international research facilities.
1. What is the main advantage of the Trinocular head on the LX 400?
The Trinocular head allows for simultaneous, uninterrupted observation through the eyepieces while capturing high-resolution images or video through a camera mounted on the third port, essential for documentation and teaching.
2. Can the LX 400 Trinocular be used for advanced techniques like Phase Contrast?
Yes, due to its advanced stage and condenser design, the LX 400 is typically upgradable with dedicated kits for advanced techniques, including Phase Contrast and Darkfield microscopy.
3. How does the LX 400's optical quality differ from the LX 300?
While both use high-quality optics, the LX 400 series often features higher-grade Plan Achromat objectives and improved mechanical precision, resulting in a superior, flatter image and better resolution for critical tasks. Compare with the
LX 300 Trinocular.
4. What type of camera is best suited for the LX 400 Trinocular port?
A high-resolution C-mount digital microscopy camera (5MP or higher) is recommended to maximize the optical quality provided by the Plan Achromat objectives.
5. Is the focusing mechanism on the LX 400 geared for precision work?
Yes, the LX 400 features a highly precise coaxial focusing system, with fine focus typically calibrated to $1\ \mu m$ increments, offering the control needed for high-magnification immersion objectives.
