Lambda VF-1 Edge™
Tunable Filter Changer

To take advantage of the new VersaChrome® Edge filters, Sutter has introduced the Lambda VF-1 Edge system that allows user selection of the both the long and short end of the bandpass in nanometer steps. This new device incorporates two of our VF-1 filter tilting modules and a Sutter Lambda 10-B controller to give direct control over the bandpass via the unit’s keypad or through external control from a computer or other device. Individual VF-1 modules can also be used with the VersaChrome Edge filters to provide tunable high-pass or short pass filtering.

The filter sets available for the VF-1 Edge cover the wavelengths from less than 400 nm to more than 1100 nm. Within this range you can select the half-power point for the high-pass and low-pass filters to any value in steps of 1 nm. If the low pass wavelength is set higher than the high pass wavelength the transmission will be blocked, acting as a shutter. In the case of this filter set there are more than 5,000 combinations of filter settings available.

The latest development from Semrock® is the VersaChrome Edge filter technology that allows selection of the band-width as well as the center wavelength. This new filter system uses separate tunable high-pass and low -pass filters in series to define the bandpass. An additional filter is used in series with these filters to provide the best blocking outside the pass-band.

    FEATURES
  • Separate tunable high-pass and low-pass filters let user define the bandpass in nanometer steps
  • User selectable band-width and center wavelength
  • Blocking filter ensures best blocking outside bandpass
  • Based on Semrock® VersaChrome Edge technology
    APPLICATIONS
  • Hyperspectral imaging wavelength selection
  • Fluorescence microscopy
  • Calcium imaging
  • FURA
  • Optogenetics
