The diagram below illustrates a cross section of the Olympus cube for use in orienting and
installing the Exciter, Dichroic and Emitter filters into the cube assembly. The cross section
is for reference only, to illustrate filter position and orientation.
Filter Positions
The Emitter is located at the top of the cube assembly. Notice it is mounted at a slight angle.
The Exciter is located at the left
side and the Dichroic is mounted
diagonally at the center of the cube and
shares the Emitter half of the assembly.

Filter Orientation
The filters are oriented in the assembly as follows:
The Exciter is mounted with its arrow pointing inward.
The Dichroic reflective side is mounted facing the Exciter
The Emitter is mounted with its arrow pointing outward.
Light passes through the cube in the direction of the arrows.
Note: The Dichroic Reflective coating must face the Exciter as
shown in the cross section diagram.

Assemble the Dichroic/Emitter half of the cube first. Loosen the mounting screws on the
Dichroic holding clamp. Note: Do not remove the screws. Loosen the screws to allow
space between the housing and the clamp for installation of the Dichroic filter.

1.2.10
Insert the filter retaining ring open side into the Emitter mounting area of the cube. Note
that the cube threads are at an angle. This will require careful installation of the retaining
ring to avoid cross threading.
Using the Spanner Wrench, carefully turn the ring while observing its position in the
threads. Keep the ring level across the threaded area while allowing the ring to tilt as it
threads inward. If the ring will not turn, it is not threaded properly – slowly turn the ring
out and try again. Do not force thread the ring as it will turn freely if oriented correctly.
Tighten the ring snug against the Emitter filter. Once snug, tighten another quarter turn to
secure. Note the angle of the retaining ring threads in the photo below.
1.2.11
Orient the Exciter with the arrow pointing into the cube as shown below.
