BrightLine^® Pinkel laser filter set, optimized for 488 & 561 nm laser sources

This "Pinkel" multiband set includes single-band excitation filters and a dual-band emission & dichroic filter. It is optimized for laser excitation utilizing a 473 or 488 nm laser source for GFP or FITC and a 559, 561.4 or 568.2 nm laser source for mCherry. This set provides high brightness, extremely low crosstalk, and superb signal-to-noise ratio.

Our improved version is certified to deliver dichroic flatness <= 1λ P-V RWE @ 632.8 nm for loose and cube mounted [NTE, OFF, OMF or ZHE] filter sets LF488/561-2X-C

Individual filters and filter sets (no cube):

These filters sets contain individual filters. For filter sets already mounted in a holder/cube, scroll down to see complete mounted sets with cubes.

Optical Specifications

Specification	Value
Blocking	BrightLine filters have blocking far exceeding OD 6 as needed to ensure a black background, even when using modern low-noise CCD cameras. The blocking is optimized for microscopy applications using our exclusive SpecMaker™ fluorescence filter design.

General Filter Specifications

Specification	Value
Microscope Compatibility	BrightLine filters are available to fit Leica, Nikon, Olympus, Zeiss, and Aperio microscopes.
Optical Damage Rating	Testing has proven to show no signs of degradation when exposed to at least 6.0 W of power from an unfiltered xenon arc lamp over a 25 mm diameter (corresponding to 1.2 W/cm²) for over 500 hours.

Physical Filter Specifications

Specification	Value
Scratch-Dig	60-40
Exciter/Emitter Orientation	Arrow on ring indicates preferred direction of propagation of light.
Dichroic Orientation	"Reflective coating side" should face toward light source and sample.

Optimized – Filter set is specifically optimized for that fluorophore.

Compatible – Should result in nearly ideal performance in most situations.

Acceptable – Actual performance is dependent on specific experimental conditions.
