Olympus FV5-FIR Fiber Optic Light Guide

The Olympus FV5-FIR is a fiber optic light guide adapter for the Olympus FV5 (FluoView 5) laser scanning confocal microscope system. It provides a flexible fiber optic coupling between an external illumination source and the FV5 confocal system, routing light through a fiber optic cable to deliver illumination where required within the FV5 optical configuration. Fiber optic light guides are used in confocal and advanced microscopy systems to decouple the light source from the microscope body — allowing the illumination source to be positioned remotely while delivering light efficiently to the optical path via the flexible fiber bundle. The FV5-FIR is the correct OEM light guide adapter for the Olympus FV5 FluoView confocal system, ensuring proper optical coupling, correct connector fit, and compatible light transmission characteristics. This is an essential replacement or spare component for laboratories running Olympus FV5 confocal systems. This unit is in excellent condition at a significant discount from the list price.
