Light filter in the epifluorescence illuminator for conventional fluorescence and quinacrine
Exciter filter, interference divider mirror and blocking filter are coupled to each other and can be adjusted at the
same time with the help of the sliding lever located on the front of the house.
The number designation is derived from the long wavelength end of the reflection band of the individual
interference beamsplitting mirror, in nm divided by 10 (nm/10).

Field iris diaphragm & aperture slot for microphotometry
There is an iris diaphragm in the epifluorescence illuminator light pipe.
This is adjusted to prevent UV fading of large areas of the specimen.
Opening the field iris diaphragm is done by rotating the knurled ring,
while focusing is done by loosening the hex lock pin and using it to
slide the cylindrical part towards or away from the observer, then
retightening the pin.
In the light pipe is an opening for inserting an aperture slide with a hole
of desired size for microphotometry. These apertures are used when
measuring the smallest object details and are centered and focusable.
