The 66-088 50 mm Dia. SCHOTT OG550 Orange Longpass Color Glass Filter is a specialized optical component designed for applications requiring wavelength selectivity. Sourced from Edmund Optics, this filter features a Schott OG550 substrate, renowned for its optical quality and durability.
The filter has a diameter of 50 mm and a thickness of 3 mm, making it suitable for various optical systems. It is designed to transmit light with wavelengths longer than 550 nm, effectively blocking shorter wavelengths, a characteristic known as a longpass filter. This property makes it ideal for applications such as fluorescence microscopy, where unwanted shorter wavelengths need to be eliminated.
The filter's coating, EDM 54-655, is applied to both the front and back surfaces, enhancing its performance and durability. The coating ensures high transmission of the desired wavelengths and low reflection, improving the overall efficiency of the optical system.
The 66-088 filter is shaped as a thin lens, suggesting it may have focusing or collimating properties. However, the specific optical power is not provided in the item data. Therefore, it's essential to consult the vendor or consider this in system design and testing.
