The filter sets for fluorescence contain, on one filter holder, two barrier filters to the visual beam paths and one excitation filter to the illumination beam path. The fluorescence filters have a transponder with the specific filter data for use with the motorized Leica MZ16 FA. The filter sets are labeled (see page 22).
