The emission filter is a critical part of any fluorescence system (learn more about fluorescence filters here). Emission filters, and to a lesser extent excitation filters, provide most of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) enhancement in fluorescence systems. This note describes emission filters and their use in both single-point (as in photometry and point-scanning) and imaging (microscopic and macroscopic) applications.

Changes in pressure, temperature, or reagent mixing cause bubbles to outgas into the flow path, creating inaccurate aspiration and dispense functions as well as disrupting optical detection. Learn how this degassing chamber works and how it can create optimal performance for aqueous chemistries at flows of 5-20mL/MIN (80–330 µL/SEC).

Optical thin-film coatings can be deposited by a variety of methods. Traditionally the most popular methods for depositing multilayer coatings – required for higher-performance mirrors and filters – include thermal and electron-beam (e-beam) evaporation and ion-assisted e-beam evaporation (IAD).

Optical Density – or OD, as it is commonly called – is a convenient tool to describe the transmission of light through a highly blocking optical filter (when the transmission is extremely small).

Notch filters are ideal for applications that require nearly complete rejection of a laser line while passing as much non-laser light as possible. The main drawback of standard thin-film notch filters has been a limited passband range due to the fundamental and higher-harmonic spectral stop bands.
