Microscope Filter Cube Compatibility Guide: A Quick Reference for Researchers
When working with fluorescence microscopes, ensuring your filter cube is compatible with your system is crucial for optimal imaging results. SyronOptics offers a range of filter cubes designed to fit popular microscope models from Olympus, Nikon, and Leica. Below is a detailed breakdown of their compatible filter cube options, complete with part numbers, technical specifications, and pricing.
What are inside the Filter Cube
Filter cubes are essential components of fluorescence microscopes, consisting of:
- Excitation filters: Select specific wavelengths to illuminate the sample
- Dichroic mirrors: Reflect excitation light to the sample and transmit emitted light to the detector
- Emission filters: Block residual excitation light to capture clean fluorescent signals
