The Labomed LX 500 LED Binocular Microscope stands at the pinnacle of Labomed's routine and semi-research upright offerings, designed for users who demand uncompromised optical performance and sophisticated ergonomics. This flagship model typically incorporates advanced features like Infinity Corrected Optics (Plan Achromat or higher), delivering superior image quality, contrast, and flexibility for future upgrades like DIC or Fluorescence. The infinity system ensures that the image remains perfectly corrected regardless of intermediate components placed in the light path. Engineered for intensive research and long-term diagnostic work, the LX 500 features advanced mechanical controls, including a high-precision stage and an ergonomic, fatigue-free viewing design. Its powerful, color-balanced LED illumination system guarantees the consistent light quality required for the most discerning diagnostic tasks in clinical and institutional laboratories worldwide.
SignificanceThe primary significance is the **Infinity Corrected Optical System**, which provides unparalleled clarity, exceptional working distance, and modularity, allowing for advanced analytical techniques without compromising image fidelity. This places it above standard finite systems.
ApplicationsSuitable for high-end research pathology, complex cytogenetics, specialized cell culture analysis (when used with accessories), and intensive university-level research projects. For digital archiving, the
LX 500 Trinocular model is recommended.
UsesHeavy usage in research institutes in Delhi, Bangalore, and international pharma QC labs in the USA and Europe. It is used for precise morphological comparisons, differential cell counting, and preliminary drug compound inspection.

1. What does "Infinity Corrected Optics" mean for the LX 500?
Infinity correction means the light rays from the objectives are parallel. This design offers superior image quality, allows insertion of intermediate components (like polarizers), and is the standard for high-level research microscopes.
2. Can the LX 500 Binocular be upgraded for digital imaging later?
Since this is the dedicated binocular model, it lacks the necessary third port for digital imaging. For any digital application, we strongly recommend the
Labomed LX 500 Trinocular variant.
3. How does the LX 500 compare to the LX 400 series?
The LX 500 is a significant upgrade, primarily due to its Infinity optical system and often superior, wider-field eyepieces (FN 22), providing a more advanced platform than the finite optical system of the
LX 400 Binocular.
4. Is the LX 500 suitable for specialized techniques like Fluorescence?
Yes, because of its Infinity-corrected optical path, the LX 500 is structurally ready for specialized external modules, including Fluorescence, DIC (Differential Interference Contrast), and polarization, making it highly versatile.
5. Where can I find other high-end Labomed instruments?
