When I google the Keithley 580, I see a *paid advert* for an IET Labs LOM-510A. http://www.ietlabs.com/lom-510.html?gclid=CjwKEAjw3f3NBRDP_NHS9fq53n4SJACKIfEYZT_jyIk_TKn0gqEkzvfxwKASIpIZTcDFJfJlMwvnRRoCZYHw_wcB But it looks nothing like the Cambridge LOM-510A on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cambridge-510A-Micro-Ohmmeter-DLRO-Includes-NEW-leads-NIST-Calibrated-LOM-510A-/291956733548 It seems a bit odd for two manufacturers (IET Labs and Cambridge Instruments) to both have the exact same model number (LOM-510A) for an instrument with identical functionality (micro ohms). Yet photographs of the two instruments show they look similar, but are not identical. The IET Labs one appears to have a couple of extra switches. Just to make something appear even more odd, the IET Labs has a link to a review on EEVblog. http://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/ie/30/ but the picture shows Cambridge Instruments, but the title shows IET Labs.
