FLUORESCENCE FILTER SETS

...

This microscope uses an Acousto-Optical Beam Splitter (AOBS) with a freely selectable emission detection range rather than fluorescence emission filter cubes.

DETECTORS

 

3x HyD, high sensitivity, 3 operating modes (standard, counting, BrightR) + time-gating

3x PMT, one of which for transmitted light imaging
