FLUORESCENCE FILTER CUBES (Ø25mm Series)
The fluorescence vertical illuminator can accommodate three filter blocks and a DIA-Filter
dummy block (devoid of filters) that enables normal brightfield observation. Filter blocks are mounted on
a slider inside the Epi-fluorescence attachment and can be inserted into the optical path by means of the
excitation method change over knob. Each block has an accompanying ID tag that can be inserted into a
pocket on the illuminator exterior housing in sequential order to enable the operator to easily select the
proper block for fluorescence observation.
The excitation filters deteriorate with time due to exposure to heat and intense light.
Replace when necessary.
Handle Multi-Band filters with great care as the very complex coatings weareasily. Special attention
should be given to moisture. When filter is not in use, store in a desiccator.
