ALPHA Vivid Optical Filter Sets, by part number, from Glen Spectra

The latest technological advance; 3rd Millennium filters combine a patented, hermetic physical assembly with proprietary ALPHA Technology. A process which produces exceptionally steep cut-on and cut-off slopes. This results in more precise location of cut-on and cut-off points, the ability to place transmission and rejection regions extremely close together, and higher attenuation between the pass band and the rejection band. the physical assembly eliminates polymer adhesives, minimising the potential for photodamage and thermal instability. The result is longer filter life, increased transmission, reduce parasitic fluorescence and significantly reduced Transmitted Wavefront Distortion(TWD)

These filters sets offer the highest possible performance and are available as stock items for seven common Fluorophores:

Assembly Diameter: 25mm
Assembly Thickness: 5.5mm

Substrates: SiO2 substrate with a broadband anti-reflection coating

Note on IR Blocker:
An additional filter may be required to extend attenuation to the limits of the detector (1150nm for silicon) & to reduce the heat load on the optical system. Many lamp housings & detectors have existing filters to remove long wavelength energy. For optimal performance we recommend locating the auxiliary attenuation/heat filter (when required) as close to the detector as possible, except in situations where another component of the optical system is more susceptible to heat.

Standard Blocker Sizes: 18mm, 25mm, & 32mm. Please specify size when ordering. Custom sizes are available.
