Precision Pinholes
• Unmounted and Mounted Pinholes
• Acktar Blackened Versions Feature > 99%
Light Absorbance
• Aperture Sizes from 1 to 1000 μm
Precision Pinholes feature stainless steel substrates
with aperture sizes ranging from 1 to 1000 μm. These
pinholes are available unmounted for integration into
optomechanical assemblies or mounted for benchtop
applications. Blackened pinholes are coated with
Acktar Magic Black™, providing > 99% absorbance of
light for applications sensitive to back reflections and
light scattering. Precision Pinholes are ideal for spatial
filtering, aerosol studies, laser apertures, and general
research applications.
Spatial Filter Movements
Spatial filter movements feature precision adjustments designed to ensure a Gaussian beam profile when used
with a laser. The spatial filter removes unwanted multiple-order energy peaks from the laser beam, passing only
the central portion of the beam.
Edmund Optics® spatial filter movements accept RMS-threaded microscope objectives and pinholes. Choosing
the correct pinhole and objective combination will yield optimal results. The following selection guide helps
to determine the appropriate aperture size by input laser beam diameter and microscope objective used.
Note: Requires one pinhole aperture and one microscope objective (sold separately).
