46-059 25.4 mm Dia. SCHOTT OG530 Yellow Longpass Color Glass Filter 530nm

The 46-059 25.4 mm Dia. SCHOTT OG530 Yellow Longpass Color Glass Filter is a specialized optical component designed for applications requiring longpass filtering at a wavelength of 530nm. This filter is sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading vendor in the optical industry, and is available for purchase through their website.

The filter is a circular component with a diameter of 25.4mm and a thickness of 3mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical systems. It is made from SCHOTT optical glass, a high-quality material known for its excellent optical properties. The filter features a yellow longpass coating, denoted as EDM 54-654 on both the front and back surfaces, which provides a cut-on wavelength of 530nm and a cut-off wavelength of 0nm.

This filter is classified as a Color Glass Filter, a type of filter that uses colored glass to alter the transmission of light. The OG530 designation indicates that this filter is a yellow longpass filter, allowing light with wavelengths longer than 530nm to pass through while blocking shorter wavelengths. This can be useful in a variety of applications, such as fluorescence microscopy, where it can help to eliminate autofluorescence and improve signal-to-noise ratios.

The 46-059 filter has a shape described as a Thin Lens, which suggests that it may have some degree of lens-like curvature. However, the specifics of this curvature are not provided in the item data.
