This filter set is optimized to be a general-purpose longpass filter set for measuring GFP and its variants, allowing for no need to exchange filter sets for different GFP experiments.
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 | |
|---|---|
| Blocking | BrightLine 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 Compatibility | BrightLine filters are available to fit Leica, Nikon, Olympus, Zeiss, and Aperio microscopes. |
| Optical Damage Rating | Testing 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. |
