The Model SFA Dino-Lite Fluorescence Adapter is a complete solution for adding fluorescence to an Edge Series Dino-Lite digital microscope. You can purchase any of the 6 modular wavelength combinations (see below) that you need and add more at any time.
A complete system with one excitation/emission combination includes just 5 items:

– The two below are needed once for a full system:
1. Flexible gooseneck lamp base with dimming control circuit
2. Power supply that operates from 120/240VAC, 50/60Hz and international plug set

– The three items below (for one wavelength combination) are included in a full system and as add-on light + filter sets to add additional combinations:
1. LED light head
2. Barrier filter mounted in an opaque Dino-Lite cap that snaps onto the bottom of the lens
3. Barrier filter glasses

You only need the first group one time. The light head and filters can be removed and replaced in seconds, and color coding ensures that you are using the right combination. Full systems and add-on wavelength sets are supplied in custom foam-lined cases. All components are also available a la carte.

Wavelength sets

Wavelength sets are named and color coded for the color of the excitation light, not the color of the emitted fluorescence.

With the Royal Blue (RB) excitation we offer two barrier filters – longpass and bandpass. Read our article on selecting the right passband option for your application.
