Fluorescence Filters

Read about different filter types, how they work, and some of the optical properties and specifications used when creating them.

The primary goal of filter design for fluorescence microscopy is to create filter sets that maximize image contrast and maintain image quality.  Learn how fluorescence filters play a role in the growing number of applications that are taking advantage of new technologies, such as lasers for both illumination and sample manipulation, digital image processing, computer-assisted positioning and controls, and ultra-sensitive detection devices.
