BrightLine FRET filter set: Cy3 & Cy5 and similar fluorophores

Semrock Logo

This four-filter set is specially designed to achieve high-performance fast FRET (Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) imaging for green donor fluorescence and red acceptor fluorescence. FRET measurements using wide-field microscopy are challenging – using the best possible filters can make a significant difference. These filter combinations provide excellent brightness and signal-to-noise ratio while minimizing the undesirable donor-acceptor crosstalk.

Note on spectral plots:
In the past, each shipment has included a spectral plot for every filter and every lot code in the shipment. In an effort to be more eco-friendly, we will no longer be including these plots with each shipment. If you require spectral plot data, please see here for more information.

Optical Specifications
BlockingBrightLine filters have blocking far exceeding OD 6 as needed to ensure a black background, even when using modern low-noise CCD cameras. The blocking is optimized for microscopy applications using our exclusive SpecMaker™ fluorescence filter design.


General Specifications
Microscope CompatibilityBrightLine filters are available to fit Leica, Nikon, Olympus, Zeiss, and Aperio microscopes.
Optical Damage RatingTesting has proven to show no signs of degradation when exposed to at least 6.0 W of power from an unfiltered xenon arc lamp over a 25 mm diameter (corresponding to 1.2 W/cm²) for over 500 hrs.
