Products Description

BP420nm Bandpass Filter | CWL 420nm±2nm, FWHM 20±2nm, 1.0mm
The OPTOStokes BP420nm is a high-precision bandpass filters optimized for small animal medical and preclinical imaging applications. Engineered with advanced ion-assisted thin film coating technology, it provides transmission greater than 70 percent across the 415–425nm range, with a center wavelength of 420nm ±2nm and a full width at half maximum of 20±2nm. This 1.0mm thick filter delivers exceptional high OD blocking across three spectral bands with graded attenuation, ensuring ultra-low background noise for sensitive biomedical imaging and small animal research systems.

Pain Points & CTA
Biomedical and preclinical research teams often face critical challenges: insufficient deep-blue blocking leading to high autofluorescence background, inconsistent center wavelength accuracy across production batches, and long lead times for custom high-OD components. These issues can reduce imaging contrast, compromise experimental reproducibility, and delay research timelines. At OPTOStokes, we solve these problems with our extensive ready-to-ship inventory, precision thin-film coating technology, and dedicated technical support team. Whether you need a single prototype for testing or high-volume production runs, we deliver precision optical components on time, every time.
