ODiate Fluorescence Filter Sets are designed to meet the demanding requirements of fluorescence and microscopy applications.
SWIR filters, which transmit short-wave infrared light, reveal invisible details like overpainted scenes in paintings or bruises on fruit.
Explore new capabilities extend finished optics wavelength range from mid-UV to longwave infrared.
Semrock optical filters combine ion-beam-sputtering systems with our deposition control technology, unique predictive algorithms, and volume manufacturing for unsurpassed, standard-setting performance.
Precision XY Saw Cutting offers high-volume, small-part fabrication with tight tolerances, ideal for optical components requiring precise dimensions and low defects.
Edge Blackening is the application of a matte black paint to the edges of an optical filter to prevent stray light inside the filter from re-entering the light path outside the filter.
Transform your optical systems with Semrock filters - the brightest, most durable, and spectrally sophisticated filters in the market.
The Nanopede family includes fifty-one versatile, cost-effective filters covering the near UV and visible spectrum in 20 nm FWHM steps for Flight 1 and Flight 2, and 30 nm FWHM for NIR.
