The 64-594 Shortpass Filter is a circular optical component with a 12.5 mm diameter and a thickness of 1.5 mm. This filter, sourced from Edmund Optics, is designed to selectively transmit light below a specified wavelength while blocking light above that wavelength.
The filter's primary function is to pass light with wavelengths up to 525nm, making it ideal for applications that require the removal of longer wavelengths. The cut-off point, which is the wavelength at which the filter begins to block light, is 525nm. This characteristic is crucial in various fields, including spectroscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and other applications where short-wavelength light is essential.
The filter is made from UVFS Mal-1965 material, a common choice for optical components due to its excellent transmission properties and durability. The front and back surfaces of the filter are coated with EDM 64-594, a proprietary coating developed by Edmund Optics to enhance the filter's performance and longevity.
The filter's thin lens shape allows for easy integration into various optical systems. It is currently in stock and available for immediate purchase through the Edmund Optics website, as indicated by its valid weblink status.
