BP525
Green Bandpass Filter

Recommended for use with green LEDs and fluorescence imaging

BP525 filters have been designed for use in almost all green LED or laser diode applications. These single substrate, hard-coated filters also have wide application in UV fluroescence imaging of various commonly used stains and plastic materials that fluoresce in the green portion of the spectrum.

MidOpt strongly recommends our single substrate, hard-coated BP525 over all other widely offered green bandpass filters because of its broad passband, far higher peak transmission, far superior blocking of UV and IR wavelengths, and reduced sensitivity to angle of incidence changes. Compared to any other “green” filters offered for industrial imaging, the BP525 will nearly always result in significantly brighter and higher contrast images.

Example:

using the right filter lets machines see the subject much more clearly

Standard Threaded Mounts:
We offer standard filter sizes from stock – 22.5mm to 62mm – for same- or next-day shipping. Larger filters – 67mm to 105mm – are made to order and are normally not returnable.

Slip Mounts:
If your lens does not have threads for mounting a filter, Slip Mount adapters are available. Slip Mounts can attach a regular filter to a lens or attach a very large filter to accommodate a wide angle lens. Please call to order Slip Mount adapters.

C-Mounts:
