Fluorescence Filter Set, ODiate®, mCherry & TexasRed Fluorophores

The OD8-FF2025 ODiate® Fluorescence Filter Set has been designed for excellent epi-fluorescence imaging of mCherry / TexasRed and similar fluorophores. The filter set includes one Excitation Filter, one Dichroic Beamsplitter, and one Emission Filter. ODiate Fluorescence Filters are manufactured with a dense sputtering process to meet the highest demands for fluorescence and microscopy applications including exceptionally high passband transmission, maximized out-of-band blocking ≥ OD8, extremely steep slopes, and spectral specifications illuminating fluorescence chemistries to provide maximum image brightness.

In addition to mCherry & TexasRed the following fluorophores are also compatible with this set:

5-ROX, Abberior CAGE 590 (uncaged), Abberior STAR 580, Abberior STAR ORANGE, Alexa Fluor^® 568, Alexa Fluor^® 594, AsRed2, ATTO 590, ATTO RHO101, ATTO RHO12, ATTO Thio12, BO-PRO-3, BOBO-3, BODIPY^® TR-X, BODIPY^® TR-X (Phallacidin), Calcium Crimson, CellTrace BODIPY^® TR, CellTracker Red CMTPX, CF 583, CF 594, Cresyl Violet perchlorate, Crystal Violet (glycerol), FluoSpheres^® Red, FusionRed, HCS LipidTOX Red Neutral Lipid Stain, HCS LipidTOX Red Phospholipidosis, Katushka2S, LIVE/DEAD^® Fixable Red Dead Cell Stain, MitoTracker^® Red, mKate2, mPlum, mRFP1, Nile red, Nile red (phospholipid), PromoFluor-594, ReAsH, Spectrum Red, Texas Red^® (Dextran), Texas Red™ DHPE, Texas Red^® R-PE, Texas Red^®-X, TurboFP602, TurboFP635, TurboFP650, X-rhod-1,X-Rhod-5F.

Optimized Coatings and Engineering Expertise

Newport pushed the boundaries with the introduction of our ODiate Fluorescence Filter Sets, to allow customers to fully optimize their system performance. Our expert engineering team has been involved from the first stage of design to ensure that we exceed your requirements and continues through the entire process of continual production deliveries.

Environmental Stability and Physical Durability

The coating systems used to produce ODiate filters use a dense sputtering process to provide robust environmental reliability to meet the highest demands for thin-film coatings. The resulting highly durable coatings meet or exceed testing procedures including humidity, thermal shock, adhesion, chemical resistance, and moderate abrasion per U.S. Military and international standards.
