	Dye	Abs Peak	Em Peak	Spectral Match
	CFP	434	477	Control YFP Emission

Notes: CFP-YFP FRET control. CFP excitation coupled with a YFP emission filter. For FRET sensitized-emission donor-acceptor bleedthrough measurements. Requires CFP and YFP light cubes for CFP-YFP FRET experiments.

Notes: Acridine Orange, longpass emission. To visualize Acridine Orange in green and orange/red emission wavelengths, we recommend using this light cube with the EVOS FL color or EVOS FL Auto cell imaging systems. The AO cube passes simultaneous green, yellow, and red fluorescence, which requires color camera detection. Works well with other fluorophores listed below in either monochrome or color camera EVOS FL cell imaging systems, provided the sample is labeled with only one dye.

Notes: Acridine Orange, red emission. Can be used with either EVOS FL color or EVOS FL monochrome Cell Imaging Systems. Detects red fluorescence, which can be visualized with either a color or a monochrome camera.

*Poor spectral match. Use the GFP or YFP light cube instead.
