Chroma Technology Releases Enhanced Spectra Viewer for Advanced Optical Filter Modeling

Date Announced: 22 Apr 2025

Chroma Technology, a leader in optical filter solutions, has announced a major upgrade to its
Spectra Viewer, bringing powerful new tools and expanded functionality to researchers,
engineers, and scientists. The enhanced Spectra Viewer makes it easier than ever to model
optical filters, compare light sources, and optimize optical system designs with greater
precision and flexibility.


Key Enhancements in the New Spectra Viewer:
Expanded Light Source Library – Now includes LEDs, laser lines, and customizable laser
wavelengths.
More Fluorochromes and Proteins – A broader selection for improved spectral modeling.
Custom Filter Functionality – Users can now add their own filters and model them
directly in the platform.
Enhanced Data Export & Sharing – Supports multiple formats, including CSV, ASCII,
PNG, and XLSX, for easy collaboration and documentation.


Chroma’s Spectra Viewer is widely used in fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry,
spectroscopy, and optical system development. The latest enhancements are designed to
streamline workflows and provide users with more precise tools for spectral analysis. “These
updates came directly from user feedback. We prioritized what our customers told us they
needed: more sources, easier data export, and custom filter modeling,” said Jennifer Lee,
Director of Marketing at Chroma Technology.


For users looking to get started with the upgraded Spectra Viewer, Chroma has also released a
series of tutorials, covering key features such as adding light sources, modeling custom optical
filters, and exporting spectral data.

An Employee-Owned Company.
