Fluorescence imaging enables detailed visualization of biological and chemical samples by detecting specific fluorescent signals. It requires precise control of excitation and emission light, high spectral selectivity, and efficient transmission to produce clear, high-contrast images. Durable, stable optical components are essential to maintain performance under intense light and repeated use in research and clinical settings.
Materion’s fluorescence components are designed to optimize excitation and emission light management, enabling clear, bright, and accurate detection of fluorescent signals. Our precision coatings and optical elements ensure minimal signal loss and high contrast, critical for sensitive biological and chemical assays.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE FILTERS AND BEAMSPLITTERS
Our fluorescence filters including excitation, emission, and dichroic beamsplitters feature custom multilayer coatings tailored to specific wavelength ranges. These coatings provide sharp spectral cutoffs and high blocking outside the passband, maximizing signal-to-noise ratio and enabling precise separation of excitation and emission light.
ADVANCED COATINGS FOR MAXIMUM TRANSMISSION
Materion’s coatings are optimized for high transmission in target spectral bands while minimizing autofluorescence and stray light. This enhances image clarity and sensitivity, supporting applications from microscopy to flow cytometry and molecular diagnostics.
