Description
These are a collection of different fluorescent filter cubes for Leitz, Leica, Olympus, Nikon, and Zeiss microscopes. I also included some optional filter size adapters in case your filters don't fit any of these models.
I listed the epi-illuminator models that fit each cube at the bottom; however, some of them are compatible with each other (e.g. Leitz & Olympus cubes) as well as different microscope models.
**Note: These are just the standard filter sizes intended for each cube. Most of them can use a pretty wide range of dichroic filter sizes as well as circular ones.
1.) Leitz Cube (Ploemopak): 18mm Filters + 18x26mm Dichroic
2.) Leica Cube (DMLB, DMR, DMIRB): 22mm Filters + 21x29mm Dichroic
3.) Olympus Cube (AX, BX): 25mm Filters + 26x36mm Dichroic
4.) Nikon Eclipse Cube: 18mm Filters + 18x26mm Dichroic
Let me know if you have any questions or requests!
