Optical Properties of Schott D263M
Refractive indicies ne (λ = 546.1nm): 1.5255 ±0.0015 nD (λ = 589.3nm): 1.5230 Above value ve: 55
The light transmittance for a thickness of 0.15 mm is TVD65 in % (d=0.15mm) = 91.7 ± 0.3%. In the visible range of the spectrum D26 M is without absorption. The excellent UV absorption properties make D263M an ideal material for use in fluorescence microscopy.
