Technical Excellence

The 590nm wavelength sits at a critical position in the visible spectrum, bridging the gap between yellow and orange light. Our BP590-50 filter's broad 50nm bandwidth (spanning approximately 565-615nm) maximizes light collection efficiency, providing superior signal strength for fluorescence applications while maintaining exceptional spectral selectivity with OD6 (1,000,000:1) blocking performance.

This broad bandwidth design is particularly advantageous for fluorescence microscopy applications involving red-shifted fluorescent proteins and dyes. The wide passband efficiently captures the full emission spectrum of fluorophores like Texas Red, mCherry, and DsRed, maximizing signal-to-noise ratios and reducing exposure times in live-cell imaging experiments.

The OD6 blocking performance ensures that even weak fluorescence signals can be detected without interference from excitation light or emissions from other fluorophores in multi-color imaging experiments. This exceptional out-of-band rejection is critical for sensitive biological imaging applications where signal levels may be limited by photobleaching or phototoxicity concerns.

Manufactured using advanced ion-beam sputtering technology, the BP590-50 delivers consistent performance across the entire aperture with minimal transmission variation. The hard-coated surfaces ensure durability in demanding laboratory environments, maintaining optical quality through years of continuous use in fluorescence microscopy systems.

The 50nm bandwidth also provides excellent compatibility with LED-based illumination sources, which typically exhibit broader emission spectra than laser sources. This makes the filter ideal for modern LED-based microscopy systems and machine vision applications where broad spectral coverage is essential for maximum light efficiency.

Whether you're conducting fluorescence imaging with red fluorescent proteins, performing multi-color flow cytometry, developing LED-based optical systems, or working with biological samples, the BP590-50 provides the perfect balance of broad spectral coverage, maximum light throughput, and exceptional blocking performance.
