3: Using the Curie System
Xenon Lamp Reflected Off of Standard Mirror
• Cold mirror – (Mirror Adjustment Knob turned with UV label closest to the cuvette holder).
Reflects only the UV light from your light source into the cuvette holder. The Cold mirror option
is included in your Curie system because the UV LVF filter does not block light above 500 nm.
If your emission occurs above 500 nm, use the cold mirror with the UV LVF filter to select your
excitation wavelength range. The cold mirror setting is used with the UV LVF filter to keep
excitation energy above 500 nm from overlapping with your emission.
