FiltersToday's fluorescence microscopes use a large number of optical filters to control light levels and block unwanted light. The optimal selection of filters can significantly affect the quality of results which can be achieved.
Because precisExciteŽ uses discrete LED wavelengths, there is less issue with unwanted wavelengths, particularly those causing bleaching. However, colour separation (dichroic) and band-pass (BP) filters are still required. Neutral Density (ND) Filters can be removed from your microscope as the precise control in 1% steps from 0-100% of precisExciteŽ is a more effective method of controlling intensity.
We have listed below the optimal filter selection for use with the standard precisExciteŽ unit for DAPI, FITC and Rhodamine. Filters sets can be purchased from a number of suppliers, including Chroma (www.chroma.com), Omega (www.omegafilters.com) and Semrock (www.semrock.com).
