Step 8
Reassemble the filter cube by placing the half of the assembly with the mounted dichroic mirror into the
empty half. Align the two halves using the two assembly screw holes. Slowly tighten the assembly
screws, alternating between them, until snug. Caution: Do not over tighten the assembly screws, as
doing so may strip the threads or screw heads. At this point the dichroic mirror should be facing the
exciter side of the filter cube (see Figure 7).
