Thanks @jenny_molloy for sharing your finds!
Currently we are testing the epi-fluorescence version using a GFP fluorescent slide. We purchased these filters (we are not in the UK) for GFP imaging so these filters are applicable for GFP ex/em:
- GFP Emission filter: https://opticalfiltershop.com/shop/bandpass-filter/visible-bandpass-filters-390nm-to-750nm/visible-bandpass-filter-575nm-fwhm-100nm/
- GFP Excitation filter: https://opticalfiltershop.com/shop/bandpass-filter/visible-bandpass-filters-390nm-to-750nm/visible-bandpass-filter-475nm-fwhm-20nm-2/
In addition, we are using the following parts:
- Beamsplitter filter: Optical Glass Beam Splitter Plate Prism Size 40x30x1.1mm 50T/50R for Laser Spectrum Analysis Instruments Accept Customization: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific
- Blue LED: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/ams-OSRAM/LZ1-10B202-0000?qs=QhAb4EtQfbWOLKWBru6FXA%3D%3D
We haven’t had much time to do testing yet, but we will post updates in the other thread here: Fluorescence optics for V7? as we go. @gerrit in the UK is also working on sourcing filters and testing so we have a nice group starting to work on this project. Hopefully we can collectively share experiences on the forum!
