Installing a Filter Cube

Before installing a filter cube, review the following:
Access only the user-serviceable components inside the enclosure as described in the
procedure. Avoid contact with other components as they can be damaged or knocked
out of alignment.
To prevent dust from collecting inside the instrument, keep all access doors closed
unless you are performing maintenance tasks.
Ensure that all components and access doors are closed before starting the instrument.
CAUTION! To prevent skin oils from damaging the optical coatings, Molecular Devices
recommends that you wear powder-free disposable gloves when handling objectives
and filter cubes.
The following filter cubes are available:
DAPI
FITC
TRITC
Cy5
Texas Red
CFP
Note:

Depending on how you have configured your ImageXpress Pico system, you may
not have received all the filter cubes.
Do not install a filter cube in slot 6 of the turret. Slot 6 must be empty (in both the
instrument and the software).
