For multiple wavelength detection, several emission filters of different wavelength band pass are used. A four-color LIF detection system that detected at four wavelengths is shown in Figure 7.2. It consisted of three dichroic filters and four PMT to detect at four wavelengths [543]. 

Epifluorescence Microscope. The diagram shows the working of an upright epifluorescent microscope. The excitation beam (black ray) from the arc lamp passes through the excitation filter and dichroic mirror and directed toward the specimen. The return beam of emitted fluorescence wavelength (red, green and black rays) is reflected of the dichroic filter, emission filter, ocular and goes to the detector (eye or camera).

Fig. 5. Schematic diagram of fluorometer. Light from source 5 is rendered parallel by lens and passes through UV (or blue) filter F,. The fluorescence from sample C which may be thermostated in the metal block T passes through the cut off filter Ft and falls on the multiplier phototube MPt. In polarization measurements a polarizer Px (dichroic filter in parallel or perpendicular orientations) is inserted before the sample and the fluorescence is observed through an analyzer Pt which can be rotated with a synchronous motor.

Dichroic filters, a special category of interference filter, have the unique ability to both reflect and transmit incident radiation. In this particular instance separating heat and light. These lamps generally reflect about 90% of the energy they do not transmit. Their first major application was in reducing the heat burdens produced by projector (PAR) lamps. 

Figure 4 (bottom) shows the configuration of the optics to irradiate the seawater and to detect the subsequent signal through the window. A set of lenses, and L2, focuses the fiber image on the water channel. (The diameter of the laser beam at the measuring position was determined to be about 0.6 mm.) The fluorescence emitted and the light scattered in the focused volume are collected by the lens L3 on the surfaces of the fibers F1 and F2 with a two-to-one reduction factor. A dichroic filter transmits the fluorescence radiation to the fiber F j and the scattered radiation to the fiber F2. 

FIGURE 10.5 A schematic diagram of an LIF system. The laser beam is reflected up by a dichroic filter and focused into the separation chaimel by a microscope objective. The resultant excitation passes back down through the dichroic and bandpass filters, and is directed onto the PMT. The computer is used to collect a voltage output from the PMT proportional to the fluorescence detected. A power supply is used to apply the appropriate voltages to the microchip reservoirs, to perform electrophoresis.

A dichroic filter is a very accurate color filter used to selectively pass light of a small range of colors while reflecting other colors. By comparison, dichroic mirrors and dichroic reflectors are characterized by the colors of light that they reflect rather than the colors they pass. Because unwanted wavelengths are reflected rather than absorbed, dichroic filters do not absorb much energy during operation and so do not become nearly as hot as the equivalent conventional filter. 

Figure 8 Schematic drawing of a focusing fiber optic Raman probehead. An internal micro-monochromator eliminates unwanted light from the excitation and a notch filter removes laser light from the Raman signal. A second notch filter acts as a dichroic filter to overlap the excitation and collection paths.

Both spectral and polarization discrimination of the background subtracted signals are trivial to implement (see Figure 3.16). Standard dichroic filters are available for all common dye pairs and inexpensive polarization beam splitters are commonly available from optical component manufacturers.
