AquaFluor Optical Specification Guide

Excitation and Emission Specifications installed on the AquaFluor

Updated yesterday

Information on our AquaFluor's installed optics with the filters specifications for emission and excitation can be found here: 998-8081_New. The AquaFluor is a customizable unit that can accommodate up to two optical kits. For example, you could add Chlorophyll in vivo with Turbidity, or use two optics of the same type. If you have any questions or need help choosing the right options, feel free to reach out! Contact Sales | Turner Designs | United States
