Nikon P-EFLC empty Filter Block SMZ800/1270 (65493)

The Nikon P-EFLC empty Filter Block is a filter cube designed for use with Nikon SMZ800N and SMZ1270 stereo microscopes. This component serves as an empty holder for fluorescence filters, allowing users to customize their microscope’s fluorescence capabilities by installing their choice of excitation, emission, and beamsplitter filters. The filter block is compatible with 18 mm filters and is intended for flexible fluorescence observation at various wavelengths, depending on the filters selected. It is a key accessory for laboratories and research environments that require tailored fluorescence imaging setups.

Purpose and Use:

• Acts as an empty filter holder (cube) for fluorescence observation, allowing users to install their preferred excitation, emission, and beamsplitter filters

• Suitable for customizing the microscope’s fluorescence capabilities for specific research needs

• Designed for easy integration into the P-EFL epi-fluorescence attachment system on SMZ800N and SMZ1270 series microscopes

Specifications:

• Compatible with 18 mm excitation and emission filters, and an 18 x 26 x 1 mm beamsplitter

• Intended for use with smaller Nikon stereo microscope models introduced in 2014 and later

• Filters must be purchased and installed separately

Installation Notes:

• It is recommended to have the filters professionally installed to ensure proper alignment and secure attachment

• After use with an epi-fluorescence attachment, allow the filter block to cool before handling, as it may become hot

• Always close the filter cube replacement cover during operation to prevent light leakage, which can affect fluorescence observation and safety

Applications:

• Custom fluorescence imaging in biological, materials science, and industrial research

• Flexible adaptation of the microscope for different fluorophores and experimental requirements

This empty filter block is an essential accessory for anyone looking to expand or customize the fluorescence imaging capabilities of their Nikon SMZ800N or SMZ1270 stereo microscope.
