  • Choosing Dichroic Beamsplitters with Flatness/RWE Appropriate to the Microscopy Method

    By IDEX Health & Science

    Wavefront distortion can degrade image quality by reducing contrast or compromising resolution. In several microscopy applications, reducing wavefront distortion is critical to achieving the microscopy method. Specifying and selecting optical filters that minimize wavefront aberration is important to maximize or enable optical system performance. This article elucidates how to select optical filters for high performance microscopy, and provides guidance on choosing Semrock catalog filters for wavefront distortion performance required for applications.

  • Understanding Polarization

    By IDEX Health & Science

    In this article our aim is to answer some basic questions about the polarization of light, including: what polarization is and how it is described, how it is controlled by optical components, and when it matters in optical systems. Learn More

  • Super-Resolution Microscopy

    By IDEX Health & Science

    Super-resolution microscopy allows for the visualization of cellular samples with a resolution similar to that of an electron microscope, yet it retains the advantages of an optical fluorescence microscope. Discover key recent developments in super-resolution microscopy in this white paper. Learn More

  • Spectral Modeling in Fluorescence Microscopy

    By IDEX Health & Science

    Given the critical role optical filters play in fluorescence microscopy, it is important to understand how such filters transmit both the desired fluorescence signal as well as the undesired background light.
