Two interference filters were used with, and without, a BG38 (red absorbing exciter filter), and compared to the conventional BG12 plus BG38 exciter filters, using four light sources (60 W, 100 W, 200 W, 250 W) in three fluorescent tests to detect antibodies to Babesia argentina. Both interference filters plus BG38 exciter filter, combined with the appropriate barrier filters, gave similar results with all light sources.
