The NIGHTSEA Model SFA Stereo Microscope Fluorescence Adapter can be used with the Dino-Lite series of digital microscopes.

While Dino-Lite does offer models with fluorescence built in, in some cases you can achieve improved performance by using the SFA excitation light sources in combination with matching barrier filters pre-mounted in a Dino-Lite endcap so that they just snap onto the front of the microscope.

Since there is no provision for mounting a filter shield on the Dino-Lite, the SFA system for Dino-Lite will include a pair of barrier filter glasses for each wavelength purchased.

A one-color complete system consists of a gooseneck lamp base with power supply, light head, matching snap-on barrier filter, and barrier filter glasses, all packed in a convenient padded travel case. You can add additional modular excitation/emission wavelength sets at any time. These contain a light head, matching snap-on barrier filter, and barrier filter glasses.

The images below are a sampling of those made with the Dino-Lite/NIGHTSEA combination.

Wavelength sets

Wavelength sets are named and color coded for the color of the excitation light, not the color of the emitted fluorescence.

With the Royal Blue (RB) excitation we offer two barrier filters – longpass and bandpass. Read our Technical Data Sheet above on selecting the right passband option for your application.

The video to the right shows how the NIGHTSEA system works with the Dino-Lite Edge Series Digital Microscopes.
