Triple Bandpass Filter Sets

DAPI/Green/Orange
The DAPI/Green/Orange filter set is designed to excite and transmit SpectrumGreen™, SpectrumOrange™, and DAPI counterstain fluorescence simultaneously. This filter is useful when the nuclear and chromosomal DNA, counterstained with DAPI, and the two fluorophores SpectrumGreen^TM and SpectrumOrange^TM must be viewed concurrently. This filter set is recommended for most of the Vysis® dual color probe mixtures when hybridized to specimens that are not imbedded in paraffin. Products such as CEP® X/Y should be viewed using this filter set.

DAPI/Green/Orange (V.2)
The DAPI/Green/Orange (V.2) filter set is designed to excite and transmit SpectrumGreen, SpectrumOrange and the DAPI counterstain fluorescence simultaneously. This filter is useful when the nuclear and chromosomal DNA, counterstained
with DAPI, and the SpectrumGreen and SpectrumOrange fluorophores must be viewed simultaneously.

The DAPI/Green/Orange (V.2) filter design may provide better color distinction and brightness of the SpectrumOrange and SpectrumGreen fluorophores when viewing paraffin-embedded specimens. This filter set is not optimized for viewing dual-color translocation probes where a blending of the SpectrumGreen and SpectrumOrange fluorophores creates a yellow color. This is the recommended triple bandpass filter set for viewing and analyzing the PathVysion® HER-2 DNA Assay.

DAPI/Green/Red
The DAPI/Green/Red filter set is designed to excite and transmit SpectrumGreen, SpectrumRed™, and the DAPI counterstain fluorescence simultaneously. This filter is optimal for viewing probes labeled with SpectrumRed^TM fluorophore while concurrently viewing SpectrumGreen and DAPI.
