For biological and medical applications fluorescence microscopes are used to observe certain parts of living cells and tissues with help of fluorophores. One or more fluorophores are added to the parts of the specimen to be observed. When the fluorophores are exposed to the so-called excitation light, the excitation energy is absorbed by the fluorophore which starts emitting so-called emission light that can be observed by the microscope. One can distinguish tumor cells from other cells, follow biological processes, or prove the presence or absence of antibodies, etc.
The B+ series microscope for fluorescence comes in two versions. Two models are equipped with 4 monochromatic LEDs and two other models are equipped with a 100 W mercury vapor illuminator.
The microscopes are supplied with fluorescence filters and dichroic mirrors for excitation in the blue spectral region, green, violet, and ultraviolet.
