FilterCube

Bases: OpticsHolder_Type

Represents the XML element FilterCube.

A Filter Cube is a removable cube-shaped unit that containing the filters and mirror used in epi-fluorescence microscopy to separate fluorescence excitation and emission light. It usually holds a matched set of fluorescence filters, which might include an Excitation filter and Emission filter but always includes a Dichroic mirror. A Filter Cube might be pre-assebled by the Manufacturer and pruchased as a whole or it might be custom assembled on site depending on the needs of the user.
