■ Replacing excitation and barrier filters
The excitation filter, barrier filter, and dichroic mirror can
be removed from the cube for replacement.
Excitation filters are screw-in filters, while barrier filters
are slide-in filters.
Align the projection on the barrier filter with the groove
on the filter cube and turn clockwise by approximately 30
degrees to secure it in place.
Orientation of the filter
• The filter is two-faced. Be aware that the filter does
not face a wrong side. Nikon filters have an arrow
indication printed on the outer frame. Make sure that
the arrow faces the direction of a dichroic mirror when
attaching the filter.
• Contact your nearest Nikon representative when the
dichroic mirror needs to be replaced.
