What is a filter?

The microscope filter is a fluorescent microscope filter.

The filter of fluorescence microscope includes excitation filter, emission filter and dichroic mirror, which is the core optical element of fluorescence microscope.

Excitation filter: Select the wavelength of excitation light.

Emission filter: transmits fluorescence and blocks stray light (completely blocks excitation light)

Dichroic mirror: reflecting excitation light and transmitting fluorescence.
