Technical Information on fluorescence

Modified or entirely new investigation methods and technical advances in filter production make periodic replacement of filters a necessity.
Leica Microsystems constantly updates and adapts the systems to match the latest developments in technology and newest applications on the market. For example, new highperformance systems have been added to Leica’s standard filter cube range which cover all currently known requirements of multi-color fluorescence (e.g. selective excitation and observation).

Schema Fluocube
Thanks to Leica’s zero pixel shift technology, there is no pixel shift in the single images of the various spectral ranges on the screen when switching between filter cubes.
Special filter cube combinations can also be assembled to customer specifications (with filters of other manufacturers) to comply with zero pixel shift requirements, provided that the filters of other manufacturers meet certain minimum quality standards.
