The steep edges, maximum transmission, and maximum reflection of ULTRA Series thin-film dichroic filters all translate into minimal loss of light intensity and optimal instrument performance. Each ULTRA Series dichroic filter, polychroic filter, dichroic beamsplitter, or beam combiner is resistant to laser damage and can be designed to work at any angle. All are ideal for use in applications such as fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and Raman spectroscopy.

Soft Coating Replacement Filters
Durable, hard-coated optical filters for replacing laminated filters
Figure 1. A variety of soft coating replacement filters, each with greater than 90% transmission.
Alluxa offers a series of hard-coated optical filters that deliver increased performance and durability over traditional soft-coated filters, at comparable prices. These soft-coating replacement filters are available with center wavelengths across the visible spectrum with bandwidths typically between 10 nm and 50 nm. All of the hard-coated filters in this series offer both greater than 90% transmission and greater than OD4 blocking at prices that are comparable to laminated filters.
