The 87-053 is a 12.5 mm diameter Dichroic Filter, specifically designed for fluorescence applications with a cut-on wavelength of 735nm. This filter is sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics, and is available for purchase through their official website. The filter is currently in stock, indicating its popularity and utility in various optical setups.
The filter is made from UVFS material, identified as MAL-1965 in the Edmund Optics catalog. It features a circular base shape, a common choice for its ease of integration into various optical systems. The filter has a thickness of 1.05mm, providing sufficient structural integrity while minimizing optical distortions.
The coating on both the front and back surfaces of the filter is EDm 87-053. This coating is specifically designed to enhance the filter's performance at the 735nm wavelength, ensuring optimal fluorescence emission and minimal signal loss. The filter's geometry is that of a thin lens, further reducing optical aberrations and ensuring high-quality performance.
In terms of physical data, the filter is designed to cut on at 735nm, allowing wavelengths shorter than this to pass through. The cut-off wavelength is 0nm, meaning it allows all wavelengths shorter than 735nm to pass through. This makes it ideal for applications where specific wavelength filtration is required.
