About this manual

This document provides detailed technical data for Olympus fluorescence mirror units used in multi‑label microscopy. It lists excitation and emission wavelength ranges for each mirror unit model (e.g., U‑MWU2, U‑MWIB2) and matches them to compatible fluorochromes such as GFP, Alexa Fluor dyes and DNA stains.

The spec sheet also includes optical component size requirements, transmission ratios for barrier filters and dichromatic mirrors, and assembly instructions for the empty mirror unit (U‑MF2). Certification and environmental compliance information for Olympus Optical Co. Ltd. are provided at the end.
