This categorizes the devices that selectively transmit light in a particular range of wavelengths, including excitation and emission filters. For optimal results, the distance between the wavelengths of the excitation and emission filter should be more than 85% of the sum of both filters bandwidths.
An excitation filter is an optical-glass filter used in fluorescence microscopy for selection of the excitation wavelength of light from a light source.
An emission filter is an optical-glass filter used in fluorescence microscopy for selection of the emission wavelength of light from a fluorescent molecule, e.g., fluorophore or dye.

The Luminex 100/200 System is the combination of three core xMAP® Technologies. The first is xMAP microspheres, a family of fluorescently dyed micron-sized polystyrene microspheres that act as both the identifier and the solid surface to build the assay. The second is a flow cytometry-based instrument, the Luminex 100/200 analyzer, which integrates key xMAP detection components, such as lasers, optics, fluidics, and high-speed digital signal processors. The third component is the xPONENT® software, which is designed for protocol-based data acquisition with robust data regression analysis. From https://www.luminexcorp.com/research-luminex-100200/
The Luminex 200 system is a compact analyzer that performs up to 100 immunoassays simultaneously using a single drop of fluid.
The FlexStation 3 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader measures absorbance, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, luminescence, and time-resolved fluorescence for biochemical and cell-based assays.
