| In house lab: cytology, smears, urinalysis |  Lx 300 | Plan Achromat 4x to 100x oil, LED rated to 50,000 hours. |
| Wider field, larger stage, fluorescence |  Lx 400 | RP Plan objectives, 10x/20 field, 200 x 140 mm stage and an LED fluorescence attachment. |
| Veterinary ophthalmic surgery |  Prima OPH | RedReflex optics, foot controlled motorized focus, f200 objective. |
Most clinic work, including blood smears, cytology, ear swabs, urinalysis and fecal flotation, runs on a compound microscope with 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x oil objectives. The Lx 300 has Plan Achromat objectives at those powers and an LED rated up to 50,000 hours. Both the Lx 300 and Lx 400 accept phase contrast and dark field kits.
Yes, if you read blood smears or look for bacteria. Oil immersion at 100x gives the resolution to see cell detail and small organisms. The Lx 300 and Lx 400 both include a 100x oil objective.
A camera helps you show owners what you found and send images to a pathologist for a second opinion. Choose a trinocular head and add a camera such as the Vega or iVu Touch.
Veterinary ophthalmology uses the same type of microscope as human cataract surgery: a stable red reflex, foot controlled focus and a working distance that leaves room for instruments. The Prima OPH has a RedReflex optical system, motorized 40 mm fine focus and an f200 objective with an f175 option.
LABOMED® life sciences products such as the Lx 300 and Lx 400 carry 5 years on parts and labor. The Prima OPH, as a medical product, carries 2 years on parts and labor and 1 year on electrical parts, with lifetime cover available as an optional add-on.
