Optical Filters for Fluorescence Microscopy

Compatible with all Major Microscopy Manufacturers

With the increasing use of antimicrobial drugs, the evolution of pathogens and diseases has
increased exponentially. The need to better characterise and elucidate novel pathways to
neutralise or eradicate these threats is of paramount importance.

One technique which aids scientists in their hunt for the next golden bullet to eradicate
diseases such as cancer is fl uorescence microscopy. Fluorescence compounds can be
attached to antibodies which are used to target cancer. These compounds absorb a certain
wavelength of light and typically re-remit light of a longer wavelength. One benefi t of
fl uorescence microscopy is in generating high level of contrasts, enabling higher levels of
intracellular imaging.

LASER COMPONENTS can provide both stock and bespoke excitation and emission fi lters,
as well as precision dichroic mirrors which facilitates imaging onto the detector. A range of
coating technologies are utilised allowing us to provide the broadest fl uorescence detec-
tion product in the market place.

LASER COMPONENTS off ers a stock range which is compatible with all major microscope
manufacturers and models including Zeiss, Olympus, Niko and Leica.
