Currently, there are two different triple filters in common use in laboratories, one which is specific for TRITC/FITC/DAPI and one which allows visualisation of Texas Red/FITC/DAPI. The first one is easily distinguished by the green light that comes from the objective on the microscope, the other gives a white/pale yellow colour. The only one that allows simultaneous visualisation of Cytocell’s Green, red and blue dyes is the Texas red/FITC/DAPI filter.
