Setting of Epi-Fluorescence
The fluorescence technique allows fluorescent structures to be visualized with high contrast in a typical
fluorescence color. The examined material can be autofluorescent or may have been mixed with
fluorescent substances (fluorochromes).
The epi-fluorescence technique can be performed using equipment for simple fluorescence examinations
with the Axiolab A, together with the 6 V, 30 W halogen illuminator (3-9/1) and the standard brightfield
beam splitter.
The equipment consists of:
- a special FL filter slider (3-9/2) which is inserted
in the reflected-light illuminator H instead of
the standard filter slider.
- a dia. 25 excitation filter (3-9/3) especially for
the blue excitation of Epodye.
- a dia. 25 barrier filter (3-9/5) especially matched
to this excitation filter, which is inserted in one
of the two dust protection sliders (3-9/6).
☞
This technique requires much light.
Turn the "illuminance" control (3-9/7)
to its right stop, fully open aperture
diaphragm (3-9/4) via the adjusting
wheel.
