Filter Holder System for
Microscope Fluorescence Observation
Attach a filter holder to a stereo microscope objective and upgrade your existing microscope for fluorescence observation or imaging.
This filter holder system is designed for fluorescence excitation observation and documentation using stereo microscopes. It can be used with Nikon, Olympus / Evident and many other stereo microscope models, depending on objective lens size and mounting conditions.
When combined with an appropriate LED excitation light and emission filter, an existing stereo microscope can be used for practical fluorescence observation, screening and camera documentation without replacing the whole microscope system.
Filter Holder System for fluorescence observation and documentation
A regular filter holder system for adding fluorescence observation capability to a stereo microscope. 2 emission filters included: Orange (560 nm longpass) / Red (610 nm longpass).
A simple filter holder with rubber-band attachment. Convenient when the objective lens diameter is relatively large. Choose from SC56 (560 nm longpass) or SC61 (610 nm longpass).
Easy fluorescence observation with your existing stereo microscope
- Designed to mount near the objective lens side of a stereo microscope.
- Useful for fluorescence observation and microscope camera documentation.
- Compatible with many stereo microscopes from Nikon, Olympus / Evident and other brands, subject to lens diameter and installation conditions.
- Can be combined with blue or cyan LED excitation light sources such as transmitted light or twin-arm epi-light systems.
- Also suitable for simple fluorescence screening, sample inspection and laboratory imaging workflows.
Important: fluorescence performance depends on the sample, reagent, excitation wavelength, emission filter, microscope optics and camera sensitivity. Please select the LED and filter combination according to the target fluorescent material.
Fluorescence filter and reagent guide
The correct filter combination is essential for fluorescence observation. Excitation light must be strong enough for the reagent or sample, while the emission filter should pass the fluorescence signal and reduce unwanted excitation light reaching the eyes or camera.
