## What is SearchLight™ for iPhone?

SearchLight™ by Semrock was designed for the research scientist working in fluorescence microscopy or the optical instrument designer working on next generation fluorescence-based systems. SearchLight™ allows you to easily select elements for your system, visualize the spectral properties, and quickly calculate critical parameters such as signal brightness, autofluorescence levels, and signal-to-noise ratio.  With an intuitive interface one can easily test filter set compatibility with various fluorophores, see the effects of changing system components (light sources, detectors, objectives), or create custom arrangements for a unique application.

SearchLight™ contains an extensive library of over 700 fluorophores, 150 light sources, 10 detectors, and Semrock’s entire library of over 800 filters and 130 optimized sets.  You may also upload custom data sets for any components or fluorophores not currently included, and can share all sessions securely with collaborators or colleagues.  SearchLight™ can also save all of your results locally when offline and sync with the web version when you reconnect to the web.

SearchLight™ by Semrock is a seamless companion to the website http://searchlight.semrock.com.  Use the app now, save time later!
