Filters


These Filter set is composed of three different filters: Emission, Dichroic, and Excitation filter. The filter set is NOT physically assembled together like in the case of the fluorescent cubes.

The Filter are used only in the laser scanning modality (Microscope >> Mode >> Laser Scanning). In this modality the UV2 fluorescent cubes is chosen automatically by the software.
