Product Description
  • The distance from the self-assembled microscope system optical path to the edge of the guide rail is 196.5mm, with the optical path aligned with the optical port.
  • Ready-to-use epi-illumination module
  • Self-assembled epi-illumination module: one filter cube slot or a removable turret for six filter sets, compatible with SM1, SM2, 30mm, or 60mm coaxial systems.
  • Top breadboard with M6 x 1.0 threaded holes. TBB25-T features a dual-position slider for combining or switching optical paths.
  • Fluorescence filter cube for the MRF1 epi-illumination module
  • Additional removable filter turret for the MRF6 epi-illumination module
  • Dovetail adapter for LBTEK's lens tubes and coaxial systems
We have multiple epi-illumination modules and accessories that can be used to build the epi-illumination path for a self-assembled microscope system. Using these components to guide light through the objective lens can produce strong illumination across the entire field of view. Our epi-illumination modules are ready to use, with their incident light providing uniform illumination across the field of view at the sample plane. Our self-assembled epi-illumination modules, including the top breadboard and the top breadboard with a dual-position slider, enable a fully integrated illumination setup. We offer the MRF1-MF2 microscope filter cube for the MRF1 epi-illumination module. For the MRF6 epi-illuminator module, we have the MRF6W filter wheel, which can directly accommodate up to six filter sets without requiring a separate filter cube. Both filter cubes and filter wheels can be equipped with Ø25 mm excitation and emission filters and 36mm x 25mm dichroic mirrors, making them compatible with filters from all major manufacturers. We also manufacture 25 mm x 36 mm plate beamsplitters (for white light imaging in epi-illumination) and 25 mm x 36 mm protected silver mirrors.

Top Breadboard For Microscope Main Body Support
  • Bottom with male dovetail block for connecting to the microscope main body bracket
  • Surface M6 threaded through-hole with threaded hole spacing of 25 mm
  • Includes 4 foot blocks to provide support for the breadboard

The LBTEK Top Breadboard undergoes an oxidation blackening treatment, allowing system developers to construct custom wide-field observation setups and epi-illumination pathways on the top of an upright microscope. Each breadboard features a Ø38.1 mm through-hole, with the hole center located on the male dovetail block. This dovetail block enables direct connection of the breadboard to the epi-illumination arm of the microscope main body bracket, or can be used to stack breadboards on top of the epi-illumination module. Additionally, there are 8 M3 threaded holes near the Ø38.1 mm through-hole, designed for 30 mm and 60 mm coaxial systems. The purchase includes 4 M4×12 cylindrical head hex socket screws.

The TBB35 male dovetail is installed into the female dovetail slot of the MSB400.

Microscope filter cube
  • The filter cube comes with a dovetail slot for installation in a single-port epi-illumination module
  • It can accommodate one rectangular dichroic mirror (36.0 mm × 25.0 mm × 1.0 mm) + one circular excitation filter (Ø25 mm, maximum thickness 5 mm) + one circular emission filter (Ø25 mm, maximum thickness 3.5 mm), forming a complete fluorescence filter cube set.

The LBTEK filter cube comes with a dovetail mounting slot, which can be installed on the dovetail block of the front door cover of a single-port epi-illumination box. The filter cube can accommodate one 36.0 mm × 25.0 mm × 1.0 mm dichroic mirror (maximum compatible size is 36.0 mm × 25.2 mm × 1.0 mm). Two SM1 threaded holes can secure one excitation filter (Ø25 mm, maximum thickness 5 mm) and one emission filter (Ø25 mm, maximum thickness 3.5 mm) using retaining rings, allowing it to form a complete fluorescence filter cube set.
