Band-pass filters are used to transmit fluorescence within a specific range of wavelength. These
ranges are designed to measure fluorescence from fluorochromes such as those listed in
(with red and violet laser upgrades installed). You can change the optical filters according to your
detector configuration. There is no need to realign the optical system when the filters are changed.
