Semrock Releases 20th Edition Master Catalog

July 30, 2014, Rochester, NY – To mark the 20th catalog edition, this printing acknowledges over 10 years of dedicated service to Semrock fluorescence microscopy and laser optics customers. A wide variety of standard products are offered online, as well as in the printed catalog, including beamsplitters, notch filters, tunable bandpass filters, and steep edge filters.

Semrock has focused on the introduction of seven groundbreaking LED light engine filter sets. The new sets are optimized for compatibility with the most popular LED-based light engines available on the market. By specifically tailoring to the peaks of LED light engines, they now provide more signal per channel compared with using traditional sets.

Semrock has also expanded the popular EdgeBasic™ family with the introduction of three short-wave-pass filters designed to transmit from 350 nm in the UV, deliver OD 6 blocking of the laser line, and offer extended blocking up to 1200 nm into the infrared.
