Vol. 6 Issue 3 - Semrock

Editor's Note

Continuing the tradition of bringing innovative products to its customers, Semrock has recently launched VersaChrome Edge™ Tunable filters that unlock virtually unlimited spectral tuning capability. These filters can be used to optimize spectral edges and bandwidths to improve signal-to-noise ratio, to reduce bleedthrough, or for hyperspectral imaging, for example.

Our own Jay Anzellotti shares insight into Semrock’s culture and what makes us the market leader. In the feature article on VersaChrome Edge filters lead author Dr. Craig Hodgson provides an in-depth review of this technology and its implications.

We are happy to announce that we have now shipped over 2 million filters. Thank you for your continued support. Stay tuned for exciting new products from Semrock early next year.

Kind regards,
Prashant Prabhat

Tips & Techniques

Preventing excitation light leakage into emission channel
When the cross-over edges of the excitation and emission filters of a mix-and-match filter set overlap, the excitation light can leak into the emission channel, thereby compromising image signal-to-noise ratio (b-c).
