High Performance Fluorescence Dichroic Filters

Our TECHSPEC® High Performance Fluorescence Dichroic Filters feature the same broad, flat transmission and reflection ranges as our popular TECHSPEC® Fluorescence Dichroic Filters, but have improved physical parameters. Special attention to surface flatness, transmitted wavefront, and surface quality have resulted in our highest level of precision yet on a filter. These rectangular filters fit into most common Nikon, Zeiss, and Olympus fluorescence microscopes. High Performance Fluorescence Dichroic Filters are a perfect complement to our TECHSPEC® Fluorescence Bandpass Filters. For specific wavelength or size requirements, numerous custom options are available.

The TECHSPEC® Dichroic Filters (sometimes referred to as dichroic plate beamsplitters or dichroic mirrors) feature broad, flat transmission and reflection ranges with an ultra-steep slope between them.  These attributes make them ideal for fluorescence imaging or spectral sorting applications, including DNA sequencing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) diagnostic instruments.

Note: The filter should be oriented in such a way that the incoming light is incident on the surface that the chevron on the edge of the filter points towards (the dielectrically coated surface).
