Better Machine Vision Performance with Optical Filters
In this video, Chroma's Principal Product Engineer John Atkinson discusses custom solutions for applications ranging from industrial applications to life sciences and the ways that Chroma works to build enduring relationships and deliver unparalleled service to our partners and customers.
Core Components
Choose individual filters and optics to build or customize your system:
Single Bandpass Filters — Isolate specific spectral bands for contrast and measurement.
Multiband Bandpass Filters — Enable multi-feature detection with fixed spectral windows.
Longpass Filters — Reduce stray light and pass longer wavelengths.
Shortpass Filters — Pass shorter wavelengths for sorting or spectral separation.
Notch Rejection Filters — Suppress narrow lines from light sources.
Dichroic Beamsplitters — Split illumination and detection paths
Neutral Density Filters — Control intensity without altering spectral shape.
Built for Industrial Reliability
Industrial systems demand stable, repeatable performance over years of continuous use. Chroma’s hard-sputtered coatings are engineered to withstand high laser power, temperature and humidity cycling, and other environmental stresses without spectral drift.
As an ISO-certified company, we adhere to strict quality assurance procedures and stand behind this commitment with an industry-leading warranty—our assurance of long-term quality and performance.
