CoolLED's new combined pE-100 package offers increased functionality for 2-wavelength excitation applications. The pE-Combiner offers the ability to use two pE-100 LED sources for dual staining applications. A number of pE-Combiners can be used to support multiple LED wavelengths on the microscope. Several pE-Combiners can be used together to increase the number of LED wavelengths.

To adjust new lasers and dyes in FACS systems it will be necessary to mount new dichroics and bandpass filters. Many systems allow an easy change of these optical filters in their system (FACS Aria, MoFlo, CyFlow....) by means of changing the filterholder. AHF analysentechnik AG offers these specific dichroics for many laser applications as well as dye specific narrowband bandpass filters, blocked against laser light from all different laser sources.

By adjusting the angle of incidence the new series of Semrock VersaChrome filters change their spectral performance to shorter wavelength. But in contrast to "normal" interference filters, there is no change in transmission intensity (>90%) and blocking specifications, they are also polarization insensitive with high imaging optical quality. The tuning can done between 0 and 60 degrees, which results in a center wavelength change of approximately 60 nm. Five different VersaChrome filters are available from 390-700nm, ideal tools for fluorescence spectroscopy.

Single molecule experiments, multiphoton spectroscopy or TIRF microscopy require optical filters perfectly matched to the corresponding laser lines.
Clean-up filters, dichroics and emitters for solid laser, gas lasers and laserdiodes made with high end optical filter technology will be offered from AHF analysentechnik AG. The company will offer best support for optimizing complex spectroscopic setups with the long time experience in specifying filter components. New products for multiline laser applications offer new chances.

The spectral data of interference filters are by nature very dependent on the angle of incidence. Typically the dichroics are defined for the 45 degrees angle of incidence (AOI). AHF analysentechnik offers dichroics for special geometries like 11 degrees AOI. Small optical systems often require dichroics with non- typical data, such as 31 to 59 degrees angle of incidence (e.g. defined by the optical data of the lenses) AHF analysentechnik offers different versions of angle tolerant dichroics: The spectral shift will just be half as wide as in comparable standard dichroic designs.

AHF analysentechnik offers very new BrightLine Multiband Laser fluorescence filter sets which are optimized for the most popular lasers (e.g. 405/488/561/635nm) used in fluorescence imaging. The excitation filters in these sets offer excellent transmission at the designated laser wavelengths, combined with low ripple passbands.

Semrock Optical Filters. Semrock has announced new filters for the efficient isolation of individual lines of highpower mercury arc lamps. Each filter obtains maximum throughput of the desired mercury line through passband transmission and optimization of the filter design. The non-absorbing blocking and fused silica substrate ensures that undesired mercury lines and other background light are effectively eliminated without the risk of filter solarization.
