Product Overview

The Olympus LBD-IF daylight blue filter is a light balancing filter designed to shift the color temperature of tungsten and halogen illumination sources toward a neutral daylight white (~5500K). Without correction, halogen illumination produces a warm yellow-orange cast that distorts stain colors and reduces color fidelity in photomicrography and digital documentation. The LBD-IF corrects this shift, producing neutral white illumination that accurately renders biological stains — particularly important for H&E, Masson’s trichrome, and other polychromatic staining protocols. At 45mm diameter, it fits directly into the standard transmitted light filter holders on Olympus CX, BX, and IX series microscopes. As a genuine Olympus OEM filter supplied in new condition, it delivers the consistent spectral performance required for reproducible imaging.
