BrightLine® single-band filter set, optimized for YFP and other like fluorophores, illuminated with LED-based light sources

Semrock Part Number: LED-YFP-A-U03

IDEX Part Number: S-001130  /

Semrock’s LED-based light engine filter sets are designed to use common excitation filters between single-band and corresponding multiband configurations to simplify interchangeability when installing the excitation filters into the light engine. This not only provides seamless transition between using single-band and multiband filter sets but also provides significant cost savings.

This filter set is optimized to simultaneously deliver bright signal and high signal-to-noise ratio (contrast) for measuring YFP (or other key fluorophores – see complete list above). This set is spectrally aligned for excitation with many of the broadband or discrete LED-based light engines available in the market.

Optical Specifications Value
Blocking BrightLine filters have blocking far exceeding OD 6 as needed to ensure a black background, even when using modern low-noise CCD cameras. The blocking is optimized for microscopy applications using our exclusive SpecMakerâ„¢ fluorescence filter design.
General Filter Specifications Value
Optical Damage Rating Testing has proven to show no signs of degradation when exposed to at least 6.0 W of power from an unfiltered xenon arc lamp over a 25 mm diameter (corresponding to 1.2 W/cm2) for over 500 hours.
Microscope Compatibility BrightLine filters are available to fit Leica, Nikon, Olympus, Zeiss, and Aperio microscopes.

What is Pixel Shift, and how does the Semrock ZERO option help? Why Pixel Shift degrades multicolor fluorescence imaging performance, and how the ZERO™ option mitigates this for Avant and BrightLine filter sets.
This set is delivered unmounted and fits Olympus OFF cubes which is compatible with the BX3 (BX53, BX63) and IX3 Series (IX53, IX73, IX83) of Evident Scientific (Olympus) microscopes.
Optimized – Filter set is specifically optimized for that fluorophore.
Compatible – Should result in nearly ideal performance in most situations.
Acceptable – Actual performance is dependent on specific experimental conditions.
