It mounts between the microscope body and the observation head, routing excitation light from an external light source through the objective to the specimen (epi-fluorescence configuration) and collecting the resulting emission light back through the same objective for observation. The 8-position rotatable filter cube turret allows up to eight fluorescence filter cubes to be installed simultaneously, enabling rapid manual switching between fluorescence channels — DAPI, FITC, TRITC, Cy5, and others — without removing or exchanging cubes between experiments. The manual turret design provides a reliable, cost-effective alternative to motorized illuminators for workflows that do not require automated channel switching. Built to Olympus factory specifications, the BX3-URA ensures precise optical alignment and consistent fluorescence performance across all installed filter positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🔎 Typical Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-channel fluorescence microscopy — DAPI, FITC, TRITC, Cy5, and other standard fluorophores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmunofluorescence — labeling and imaging antibody-tagged targets in fixed tissue and cell samples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive cell fluorescence imaging on BX43, BX53, or BX63 platforms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) and chromosomal analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeuroscience, pathology, and cell biology research requiring multi-label fluorescence workflows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📊 Key Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOlympus Part Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBX3-URA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual Reflected Light Fluorescence Illuminator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFilter Cube Positions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 (rotatable turret)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIllumination Mode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEpi-fluorescence (reflected light)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Microscopes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOlympus BX43, BX53, BX63\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHS Code\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e901190\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew \/ OEM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eUniversities and research institutions are welcome to purchase using an official purchase order.
