position, seen from the front of the
microscope: If you select the bright-field
position, the filter cube is removed from the
optical path. The three bright-field positions
have the same function.
Rotate the turret so that the fluorescence
positions indicated by the arrows on the left
and right are the same (all points to “1” in the
right figure), indicating that the filter cube
has been switched into the optical path.

One-to-one corresponding relationship
between filter cube sign, fluorescent
LED light signs and filter cube should
be paid attention to, when using. (see
section 4.3.2 for the position of
fluorescent LED lights)

Fluorescence Filter Cube
A filter cube consists of three types of optical
components: an excitation filter (BP filter), a
barrier filter (BA filter), and a dichroic mirror
(DM).
Referring to the following items as a guide,
select a desired combination of filter cubes
according to the characteristics of the
specimen and fluorophore.
• You can select a combination of an
excitation filter and a barrier filter even if
you are using the same excitation method.
• Excitation filters, barrier filters, and
dichroic mirrors can be purchased separately.
• Excitation filters are exposed to strong light
during operation and will deteriorate over
time. Replace the filter as appropriate.

Fluorescent LED Unit
The 410-FL allows you to mount up to three
different fluorescence LED units as the light
source for episcopic fluorescence
microscopy.
When the fluorescence cube turret is rotated,
the fluorescence LED unit is switched
automatically. Therefore, mount the
fluorescence LED unit at the same address as
the filter cube to be used.
