The HF108IX3 filter wheel deck is designed for the Olympus IX3 inverted microscope systems. The HF108IX3 provides a compact high-speed filter wheel option, accommodating up to eight 32 mm diameter filters. The unit is mounted below the nosepiece, which can enable the user to not only switch between wavelengths at high speed, but also to see the fluorescent images through the eyepieces of the IX3 microscope as well as the camera. The HF108IX3 filter wheel is also compatible with the Olympus ZDC (Z Drift Compensator).
