Product Description
  • The cube accessory can be provided separately for ease of transmission light direction switching
  • One emission port has a 3° tilt angle to avoid unnecessary reflections
  • Compatible with 30 mm coaxial systems and SM1 lens sleeves
LBTEK offers a quick-release magnetic cube compatible with 30 mm coaxial systems, providing standalone cube inserts for easy switching of the optical path direction (left or right) in transmitted light. Currently, three types of quick-release mounts are available for optical components: rectangular flat plates, right-angle prisms, and beam splitter cubes. All three mounts share the MCM1-B base, differing only in the central cube insert structure. The cube inserts are designed with matching bevels and can be inserted into the base in a single orientation. The base features three M6 threaded holes with a 25 mm pitch spacing for rod connections.

30mm Coaxial Quick-Release Magnetic Cube for Rectangular Optical Components
  • The cube insert can be provided separately for convenient transmission light direction switching
  • The base is compatible with 30 mm coaxial systems and SM1 lens tubes
  • One emission port has a 3° tilt angle to avoid unwanted reflections
  • The Ø25.4 mm optical components can be mounted around the cube insert
  • Rectangular optical components up to 36 mm × 25 mm in size and 2 mm in thickness can be mounted at the center of the cube insert

LBTEK offers quick-release magnetic cubes designed for fluorescence filter assemblies. The cube insert can accommodate four Ø25.4 mm optical components in four directions via retaining rings. The insert also features a magnetically detachable 45° rectangular mounting bracket, which secures or releases optical components through spring compression and a single screw tightening mechanism that simultaneously releases the spring. The MCM1 model has a central clamping size of 36 mm × 25 mm × 1 mm, with the ability to mount optical components up to 6 mm thick at the 3° inclined edges. The MCM1S variant supports a central clamping size of 36 mm × 25 mm × 2 mm, allowing for optical components up to 4.5 mm thick at the 3° inclined edges. One emission port of the quick-release cube features a 3° inclination relative to the surface to minimize unwanted reflections, labeled as EM2, as shown in the right figure.

The MCM1 is equipped with two excitation (EX) and two emission (EM) ports, and ports with the same number must be used simultaneously.

30 mm coaxial cube base
  • Compatible with all MCM1 series cube accessories
  • Expandable with SM1 lens tubes
  • Compatible with 30 mm coaxial systems and free-space optics
LBTEK offers a magnetic quick-release cube base, compatible with cube adapter components MCM1S-A and MCM1-A. It utilizes magnetic coupling, along with pins and steel balls for precise positioning, ensuring high repeatability. The base is compatible with 30 mm coaxial systems and features SM1 threads on all sides for mounting SM1-threaded sleeves. The bottom includes three M6 threaded holes for installation on our OP1 series mounting rods.
The cube plugin is installed in the MCM1-B base.

30mm Coaxial Magnetic Quick-Release Cube for Right Angle Prism
  • Cube insert can be provided separately for easy transmission light direction switching
  • Base compatible with 30 mm coaxial systems and SM1 lens tubes
  • Cube insert can accommodate Ø25.4 mm optical components
  • 25 mm×25 mm×25 mm right-angle prism can be mounted at the center of cube insert
LBTEK offers the MCM1BL\R 30 mm coaxial magnetic quick-release cube for right-angle prisms. The cube insert can accommodate two Ø25.4 mm optical components in the two directions marked by arrows on the top plate via snap rings, and features a magnet at the bottom for quick detachment. The center of the insert where the optical component is mounted has foam to prevent damage, and it can hold right-angle prisms with side lengths of 25 mm or 25.4 mm. The center cube insert is sold separately, with the base being MCM1-B. Currently, there are left-handed and right-handed models available. For the MCM1BL left-handed adjustable version, the side marked with the letter P on the top plate should align with the beveled edge of the inner slot in the MCM1-B base during installation and removal. The MCM1BR model requires the bracket's beveled edge to align with the beveled edge of the inner slot in the MCM1-B base for installation and removal.
The right-angle prism is installed on the MCM1BL coaxial quick-release cube.

30mm coaxial quick-release magnetic cube for beam splitting
  • The cube insert can be provided separately for ease of switching transmitted light direction
  • The base is compatible with 30 mm coaxial systems and SM1 lens tubes
  • The cube insert can accommodate Ø25.4 mm optical components
  • The cube insert center can mount 25 mm×25 mm×25 mm beam splitter cubes

LBTEK offers the MCM1C30 mm coaxial quick-release magnetic cube, designed for beam splitter cubes with side lengths of 25 mm or 25.4 mm. The cube insert allows for the installation of four Ø25.4 mm optical components around its perimeter via retaining rings. The insert features a magnet at the bottom for quick detachment. Sponge strips are placed at the optical component mounting positions, which is the center of the insert, to prevent damage to the optical elements. It accommodates beam splitter cubes with side lengths of 25 mm or 25.4 mm, and the fixing screws are designed with an anti-drop feature to eliminate concerns about screw loss. The central cube insert is sold separately, with the base being MCM1-B. Note: The sponge strips on the insert are intended to prevent damage and ensure stable installation of optical components. Therefore, a slightly higher torque is required when tightening the locking screws.

The beam splitter cube is installed on the MCM1C coaxial quick-release cube.
