Fluorescence Observation Units
Better S/N ratio delivers brighter, higher-contrast
images in fluorescence observation.
The ideal microscope allows bright, high contrast fluorescence
observation from the minimum amount of excitation light in order to
minimize cell damage or fluorescence fading. To detect a weak
fluorescence signal (S) efficiently, all other light noise (N) must be
reduced. Therefore, it is very important for fluorescence observation
to maximize the signal (S) and to minimize the noise (N).

The sharp performance of the dichromatic mirror in the new mirror unit minimizes crossover with the excitation filter and reduces
excitation light leakage to less than a tenth of our conventional models. Combined with the light absorbing mechanism (which absorbs
more than 99% of stray light), a high S/N ratio is achieved without the need for any special mechanism to prevent excitation light leakage.

Olympus offers a range of other high numerical aperture
objectives whose reduced autofluorescence and specially selected
glass contribute to improved fluorescence S/N ratios.
Especially the PLAPON60XO has outstanding N.A., which is 1.42.

High-performance fluorescence mirror units for fluorescent proteins
w
Olympus has developed outstanding filter coating technology,
which gives the high efficient transmission and the reflection as well
as sharp cut off characteristics. This newly developed coating
results in optimized mirror units for the various fluorochromes
included ECFP/EGFP/EYFP/DsRed.
Improved performance of interference type fluorescence mirror unit
w
The S/N ratio of certain interference type fluorescence mirror
units is now improved, thanks to the application of new coating
technology to narrow the gap between excitation (Ex) and emission
(Em). The line-up has been extended for wide variety of choice.

Glass reflector captures fluorescence of multiple color dyes
S
N
A multi-band dichromatic mirror is normally used to obtain multi-
color images of multiple stained fluorescent samples by using filter
wheels on the excitation and emission sides. However, this kind of
mirror encounters the problem that each fluorescence image gets
darker as the number of color dyes increase, because the
transmission spectrum becomes narrower and the transmittance
falls to lower than 90% at best. Olympus has therefore developed
the world's first glass reflector that is not wavelength-dependent,
offering a high transmittance of 94% across a wide wavelength
range from 430 nm to 700 nm. Used in combination with the filter
wheels on the excitation and emission sides, a wider variety of color
dyes can be used and
fluorescence images are captured
more efficiently.

Stray light reduction function equipped on all mirror units
e
The slight transmission of stray light when excitation light is
reflected in the dichromatic mirror causes a rise in the level of noise.
Olympus mirror units absorb more than 99% of this stray light
through their light absorber.
