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.
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. In conventional micro-photography, taking a good picture is so difficult 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
flexible lighting options provide the capability to capture high-quality pictures for
various and changeful subjects. Please refer to the following operation steps.
