Leica Filtercube A microscope fluorescence filter cubes A 513824

Manufacturer: Leica Microsystems

Model: Filtercube A (Item no. 513824)

Device type: Fluorescence filter cube for microscopes

Description:

The Leica Filtercube A (item number 513824) is a high-quality fluorescence filter cube designed for use in Leica fluorescence microscopes. This filter cube is optimized for the excitation range in the UV spectrum and is ideal for imaging fluorophore dyes such as DAPI (4',6-diamidine-2-phenylindole), which is often used for DNA staining in cell nuclei.

The filter cube contains precisely coordinated components: excitation filter, dichroic mirror and emission filter, which together ensure high transmission and excellent image quality. The robust housing protects the sensitive filter optics and at the same time enables easy and safe handling in the microscope.
