Cage Cube for Rectangular Optics![]()
CM1-DCH Integrated Filter Mount ![]() Please Wait ![]() Click to Enlarge The CM1-DCH is 30 mm Cage and SM1 Lens Tube compatible. ![]() Click to Enlarge Two Flat Head Hex Screws are used for Cube Cover Removal and Filter Replacement Features
The CM1-DCH dichroic filter cube holds a rectangular optic, such as a dichroic mirror, beamsplitter, silver mirror, or polarizing bandpass filter up to 36 mm wide, 26 mm tall, and 3 mm thick using an integrated clamp. Its compact size compared to other filter cage cubes reduces the distance between cage components. Two flat head hex screws on the base of the cube can be unscrewed with a 1.5 mm hex key to detach the base from the cube housing, allowing access to the integrated clamp (see the photo below right). Emission and excitation filters can also be mounted into short lens tubes and attached to the SM1-threaded ports for a full fluorescence imaging filter setup (see the Application tab for more information). CM1-DCH cubes have four 4-40-threaded holes on each face for 30 mm cage system integration and are post mountable via an 8-32 (M4) tap. The cubes can also be connected sequentially using the CM1-CC cage cube connector sold below. Cage cubes can also be connected with cage rods by using our ERSCA Rod Adapters. Please note: The filter holder base features a modified FFM1 filter holder mount. Our catalog FFM1 is not compatible with the CM1-DCH. Additional CM1-DCH bases may be ordered as a special by contacting tech support. For a complete selection of our cube-mounted optics please see the Mounted Optics Guide tab. Fluorescence Filter Set ApplicationThe CM1-DCH can be used along with two SM1L03 lens tubes to hold a complete imaging filter set within a cage system. The emission and excitation filters are mounted in the 0.3" lens tubes attached to the cage cube. Mouse over the photo to see the corresponding components in the table to the right. ![]()

![]() ![]() Click to Enlarge Two CM1-CC Connectors used to Connect Multiple 1.5" Wide Cage Cubes
The CM1-CC cube connector allows two or more cubes to be connected as shown in the image to the right. Many of our cage cubes are compatible with this connector, including empty cubes, empty dichroic cubes, mounted beamsplitters, mounted penta prisms, and mounted turning mirrors. Two cage cube-mounted turning mirrors cannot be connected using the CM1-CC due to a lack of Ø6 mm cage rod holes on two sides of the cube. Alignment Pins | |||||||||||||||||||||||
