AX-REXBA*
The use of a dual-band filter allows simultaneous observation of double- stained specimens. With the conventional observation method, photomicrography or image documentation with optimally balanced light intensity is difficult since one of the two fluorochromes may emit fluorescence that is too weak or too strong. However, by simply turning the dial of the AX- REXBA, easy control of the fluorescence balance is assured for photomicrography with ideally balanced light.
*U.S. patent pending.
(1)Use of a dual-band filter, allows observation of and photomicrography with a double-stained fluorescing specimen under optimum conditions, regardless of the conditions of the stained specimen.
(2)As the AX-REXBA allows adjustment of excitation light, unnecessary irradiation is prevented and damage to the specimen is minimized.
(3)The 25EBFB/G filter accommodates a double-stained fluorescing specimen using two types of fluorochromes – FITC/TRITC and FITC/Texas Red. This filter is designed for general use with double- stained specimens with G/B excitation. The 25EBFU/B** filter designed for U/B excitation is also available.
**To be released October 1997.
(4)With single-band excitation, the AX-REXBA can serve as a continuous light control unit. (When 25EBFB/G is used, the AX-REXBA is applicable for B or G excitation).
(5)The AX-REXBA is easily installed into the AX70's aperture stop position.
