Edge filter

Time:2024-05-30
An edge filter, also known as a cut-on/cut-off filter or long pass short pass filter, is designed to transmit or block light within a specific wavelength range.




Edge filters are characterized by having a steep transition between the transmission and blocking regions of the spectrum.

Application

The key feature of edge filters is their sharp transition in a specific wavelength range.
This allows them to effectively pass or block light at specific wavelengths, making them suitable for various biomedical imaging applications.

Edge filters are selected for specific applications or experimental requirements, allowing customization of the wavelength range to transmit or block light. In life science image processing, edge filters contribute to contrast enhancement, background noise reduction, or emphasizing light at specific wavelengths.
