Microscope filter cubes are essential components in fluorescence microscopy, designed to optimize the visualization of fluorescent specimens. They house a set of specialized filters that work together to selectively transmit and reflect light at specific wavelengths, allowing researchers to effectively observe and analyze samples.

An infrared (IR) polymer reflector based on chiral nematic (cholesteric) liquid crystals has been fabricated which can reflect more than 60% of solar IR energy without interfering with the visible solar radiation. Simulations show that the polymer bilayer film applied to a window of a typical building can have a significant impact on the interior temperature in living and working spaces.
