Filterset GFP-LP for blue-range excitation (EX460–500, DM505, EM510 Longpass) – Microscope filter by Euromex

A Filterset GFP-LP (DZ.9061) designed for fluorescence microscopy, delivering targeted excitation in the blue spectral band and longpass emission filtering for GFP applications.

• Blue-range excitation EX460–500
• Dichroic mirror DM505 cut-on
• EM510 longpass emission for GFP

Reliable excitation tailored for GFP imaging

The optical assembly is configured for blue-range excitation with a defined EX460–500 band, which matches the absorption peak of green fluorescent protein (GFP) and similar fluorophores. This spectral match increases the proportion of excited fluorophores while limiting off-target illumination, resulting in a stronger emission signal. By concentrating energy in the appropriate wavelength window, the filter assembly helps laboratories achieve consistent fluorescence contrast across repeated measurements, which supports reproducible imaging workflows for research or routine inspection.

Cleaner emission for improved image contrast

A well-defined dichroic element is central to fluorescence performance. The DM505 dichroic mirror provides a clear cut-off around 505 nm, reflecting excitation wavelengths and transmitting longer emission light to the detector. Coupled with the EM510 longpass specification, the combination reduces excitation bleed-through and background, delivering an improved signal-to-noise ratio for fluorescence microscopy. For users with limited optics experience, a dichroic mirror can be described simply as a selective beam splitter that directs the right wavelengths to illumination and detection paths, thereby producing cleaner emission and more reliable interpretation of fluorescent signals.

Practical guidance for integration and laboratory use

The filter set is intended as an optical solution for GFP fluorescence tasks and is labelled DZ.9061 for straightforward identification. For integration into existing setups, note that spectral compatibility (excitation and emission ranges) is the primary selection criterion; mechanical mountings vary by manufacturer and should be checked before purchase. If uncertainty remains about suitability for a specific microscope or camera, additional technical details can be supplied on request — Metav Werkzeuge offers expert advice to verify compatibility and to help specify the correct optical components for each application.

FAQ

What fluorophores is this filter set optimised for? This Filterset GFP-LP (Euromex, DZ.9061) is optimised for GFP and fluorophores with excitation maxima within the 460–500 nm band; it is suitable where a 510 nm longpass emission is acceptable.

Will the filter set prevent excitation light reaching the detector? Yes. The combination of the DM505 dichroic and the EM510 longpass is designed to reduce excitation bleed-through, improving emission detection in GFP-type imaging when used with compatible optics.

Can this filter set be used with LED and arc-lamp illumination? The spectral specifications (EX460–500, DM505, EM510 Longpass) define optical compatibility; both LED and arc-lamp sources that provide sufficient intensity within the excitation band can be used with the Filterset GFP-LP (Euromex, DZ.9061), subject to the microscope’s optical path.

How should the filter be cleaned to avoid damage? Use manufacturer-recommended optical cleaning materials and procedures; avoid abrasive cloths and strong solvents. For specific cleaning instructions for the Euromex Filterset GFP-LP (DZ.9061), consult technical guidance before attempting maintenance.

Is this filter set suitable for quantitative fluorescence measurements? The filter set provides spectral selectivity that supports improved signal-to-noise, which is beneficial for comparative measurements; for quantitative assays, pair the Filterset GFP-LP (Euromex, DZ.9061) with calibrated illumination and detection hardware to ensure measurement accuracy.
