Optical Filters
Optical filters modify the spectral distribution of light scatter and fluorescence
directed to the detectors. When photons encounter an optical filter, they are
either transmitted, absorbed, or reflected.
Figure A-6
Effect of an optical filter on incident photons
Two kinds of filters are used on the BD FACSCanto II flow cytometer (default
configuration):
•
longpass (LP)
•
bandpass (BP)
Longpass Filter
In general, LP filters (mirrors) pass wavelengths longer than the filter rating. For
example, a 500 LP filter permits wavelengths longer than 500 nm to pass through
it and either absorbs or reflects wavelengths shorter than 500 nm (Figure A-7 on
page 113).
