Leica Microscope Fluorescence Filter Cube A 513824 SKU: 8997 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 displaying fluorophoric 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 filters, dichroic mirrors and emission filters, 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. Specific details: Application: Fluorescence microscopy, specific for DAPI or similar dyes Compatibility: Leica DM series, DMi series and other Leica fluorescence microscopes with filter cube holders Optics: Factory mounted unit of excitation filter, dichroic mirror and emission filter Type A filter: Standard for UV fluorescence (DAPI, Hoechst) Technical details: Excitation filter: ~360 nm Emission filter: ~470 nm Dichroic mirror: about 400 nm Dimensions: about 50 mm × 50 mm × 30 mm (L × W × H) Weight: about 120g Case material: metal with optical glass insert Attachment: Suitable for slide-in brackets in Leica microscopes Condition: The filter cube is in very good used condition.
