The new filter sets are targeted at imaging the most popular fluorophores including DAPI, GFP, and red fluorescent proteins such as mCherry. Two DAPI sets are available allowing users to choose between a narrowband excitation filter to minimize photobleaching and phototoxicity to the sample, and a wide exciter for maximum signal in very low-concentration samples. Users of current DAPI, GFP or mCherry BrightLine filter sets may quickly upgrade to long-pass sets by just dropping in the new long-pass emission filters purchased separately. All three emitters are guaranteed to offer > 93% average transmission over the passband and extremely steep edges that are perfect for capturing fluorescence as close to the excitation band as possible for maximum efficiency.
