Fluorescence Filters
Iridian offers excitation, dichroic, and emission fluorescence spectroscopy filters for confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, and other biomedical applications. These dichroic (FLD) and emission (FLE) filters deliver more signals with less background noise, and are compatible with common excitation sources and fluorophores. They also feature high transmission and reflection levels, low ripple, steep edges, and deep blocking outside of the pass band.
The Iridian FLD and FLE filters are capable of optimizing the discrimination of light emitted from different fluorophores in the optical path of multi-color flow cytometers. These filters eliminate background excitation and the overlap of emission signals from different fluorophores while maintaining high channel signal, leading to improved data capture and analysis.
