The 86-365 is a Bandpass Filter with a diameter of 50 mm and a thickness of 2 mm, designed for use in fluorescence applications. This filter, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a crucial component in optical systems that require specific wavelength selection.
The filter's primary function is to transmit light within a specific range of wavelengths, while blocking light outside this range. The 86-365 is designed to transmit light at a central wavelength (CWL) of 525nm, with a bandwidth of 15nm. This makes it ideal for applications that require the transmission of green light.
The filter's cut-on wavelength is 516nm, and the cut-off wavelength is 534nm. This means that it begins to transmit light at 516nm and stops transmitting at 534nm. This precise wavelength selection is crucial in many optical applications, including fluorescence microscopy, spectroscopy, and laser systems.
The 86-365 is coated with a hard coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the filter's durability and resistance to scratches and other forms of damage. It also helps to reduce reflections, improving the overall efficiency of the optical system.
The filter has a base shape of a Circular Thin Lens, which is a common shape for optical filters. This shape ensures easy integration into various optical systems. The filter's geometry, including its diameter and thickness, are also designed to optimize its performance in these applications.
