All filter combinations are mentioned for Axio-line microscopes.

We like to inform you about the new double and tripple bandpass filter sets. At the same time we present a new list of fluorochromes for our filter combinations. Please take this as an invitation to communicate about important missing fluorochromes or fluorochromes that nobody uses any longer. Please remind that shown maxima of excitation and emmision don´t fit to every application and therefore the indicated filter set must´nt be at optimum. If the operator uses another salt of the compound or the pH-value is different than excitation and emission could be changed completely.
In such cases we will help you: [email protected].
