Jennifer,
Excitation and emission spectra are viewable on Omega's Curvomatic (link
below).
https://www.omegafilters.com/curvo2/index.php?t=dye&q=sp&_=&dyes=171
You can also overlay any filter set and/ or common light source to see how
your particular set up will work optimally.
The recommended filters for a given dye are automatically pulled up when you
select a dye.
Best,
Dan

Dear all
Can anyone please tell me the excitation and emission spectra for Spectrum
Orange?
I have a user who is interested in using Spectrum Orange for FISH, and we
would
like to know if we can image this with any of our filter sets on our
fluorescence microscopes, however I am having trouble finding out what the
excitation and emission spectra for Spectrum Orange is. Vysis, the/a
company
that sells Spectrum Orange simply states that it can be imaged with their
"Single Band Pass Orange Filter" (no filter specs provided, although they
sell
the filters).
(The only information on Spectrum Orange in the confocal list archives is
that
the emission peak of Spectrum Orange is 10nm apart from Texas Red)
Any comments on the photostability of Spectrum Orange, and any potential
pitfalls of using this fluorophore, would also be appreciated
Kind regards
Jennifer Clarke
