• Mercury Line Filters
    • Multi-Line Source: The mercury arc lamp emits light across a broad spectrum, containing multiple distinct high-intensity peaks (colors) ranging from UV to red.
    • Selective Transmission: The bandpass filter acts as a precise optical gate. It is designed to transmit only a specific "band" of wavelengths in this specific example.
    • Rejection: The filter blocks, reflects, or absorbs all other unwanted wavelengths (such as the purple/UV and blue lines shown in the diagram).
    • Monochromatic Output: The result is a clean, single-wavelength (monochromatic) light source, converting the lamp's noisy spectrum into a precise tool often used for calibration or fluorescence microscopy.
