Each cube contains three precisely matched optical components: an excitation filter that selects the wavelengths used to excite the fluorophore, a dichroic mirror that reflects excitation light toward the specimen while transmitting the longer-wavelength emission light back toward the detector, and an emission (barrier) filter that blocks residual excitation light and passes only the fluorescence signal.

This combination maximizes fluorescence signal collection while minimizing background and cross-talk between channels — critical for multi-label experiments where two or more fluorophores must be imaged independently. Olympus cubes are available in both narrow-band (single fluorophore) and wide-band configurations, as well as multi-band sets that allow simultaneous imaging of multiple fluorophores through a single cube using a multi-band camera or spectral detector.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\"\u003eCommon Olympus filter cube sets include U-MNU2 (DAPI), U-MWIB3 (FITC\/GFP), U-MWIG3 (TRITC\/Cy3), U-MWG2 (Texas Red), and U-MWQ (Cy5\/far-red).
