Application context
Application guidance is derived from the product family and tied to the model-specific selection fields above.
Change spectral band without disturbing the alignment of the surrounding path.
Hold excitation, emission and notch filters at the correct orientation to the beam.
Set power levels reproducibly ahead of a detector or sample.
System integration
Use these checks to connect NF25.4 to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
Technical FAQ
Optics Size (mm): φ25.4 or 25.4×25.4 · Optics Thickness (mm): 1~5. Check diameter and thickness together. A holder that accepts the diameter can still fail to retain an optic that is thinner than its minimum, and clear aperture is normally smaller than the optic the mount holds.
Mounting Hole: M4. Match the thread standard and hole pitch before ordering. Metric and imperial hardware interchange only through an adapter, and a thread that is nominally similar is not necessarily the same pitch.
Main Body Material and Treatment: Aluminium alloy, surface treated by black anodic oxidation.. Aluminium moves about 23 ppm per kelvin and stainless about 16. In a path where thermal drift is already budgeted, the material of the mount belongs in that budget rather than in the appearance of the part.
Weight (g): 20. Use the stated geometry and mass to fix beam height, clearance and the load carried by whatever this part is bolted to. These are the numbers that decide whether adjacent components physically collide.
Model selection
Compare NF25.4 with the closest available models in the NF series Filter Mount family. Confirm option-dependent values on the final configuration before ordering.
