LUYOR-3420 Stereo Microscope Fluorescence Adapter

LUYOR-3420 Stereo Microscope Fluorescence Adapter

Brief Introduction:

LUYOR-3420 Stereo Microscope Fluorescence Adapter Adapts your existing lab stereo microscopes for fluorescence!

LUYOR-3420 Stereo Microscope Fluorescence Adapter provides two types of excitation light sources and adapts just about any stereo microscope (dissecting microscope) for fluorescence with no modification to the microscope itself.

The modular design allows you to easily switch between several different excitation/emission combinations to work with a variety of fluorescent proteins and other fluorophores. There are now six different excitation/emission combinations available.

Applications:

This simple system is excellent for Quick screening of your fluorescent genotypes - Drosophila, zebrafish, C. elegans, ...

Genotype sorting;

Fluorescence-aided dissection, injection, or micromanipulation;

Pre-screening sample preps for confocal or other high-resolution imaging;

Freeing up your research-grade fluorescence microscopes for more demanding work;

New faculty start-up budgets;

Bringing fluorescence into the teaching laboratory;

Modular Design:

Installs in seconds - just clicks into place

Interchangeable excitation/emission combinations

Move from microscope to microscope

No modification to your existing microscope

Add more as your needs expand, grows as your lab grows!

Standard Delivery:

LUYOR-3420 Stereo Microscope Fluorescence Adapter system consists of

Flexible gooseneck lamp base with power supply

Two light heads with excitation light sources of your choice

Ring adapter for microscope

Barrier filter

Filter shield

The light head, barrier filter, and filter shield are interchangeable so that you can easily switch between excitation/emission light+filter combinations.

The microscope mounting adapter fits up to 67mm to work with the majority of stereo microscopes. If you need other sizes, contact us for customization.

Wavelength Sets:

Green-Only Barrier Filter:

The Green-Only (GO) Barrier Filter isolates the green part of the spectrum and is for use with the Royal Blue excitation source.

While our other barrier filters are longpass filters, this filter is a bandpass, transmitting from approximately 500 to 560nm.

The longpass filter has served well for most users who need to visualize green fluorescent protein (GFP), and if you are exploring fluorescence in nature it is preferable.

The primary motivation for adding the green-only filter to the line-up is for the benefit of researchers using GFP in plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana, a common research model.

Plants contain chlorophyll, which has a distinctive red fluorescence that can sometimes mask the GFP emission, making it harder to see and photograph.
