(3) Insert a nameplate into the position with the same address as the one indicated on the filter cube switching knob
on the right side of the microscope.
(4) Turn the filter cube switching knob and insert other filter cubes into the remaining open bays.
(5) Restore the slot cover back to its original position.
■ Replacing excitation and barrier filters
The excitation filter, barrier filter, and dichroic mirror can be
removed from the cube for replacement.
Excitation filters are screw-in filters, while barrier filters are
slide-in filters.
Fit the projection on the barrier filter in the groove on the
filter cube and turn clockwise by approximately 30 degrees
to secure it in place.
