Astronomy/UBVRI filters

from Andover

Andover Corporation offers two sets of astronomy/ UBVRI filters - the Johnson/Bessel and the Kron/Cousins types - as standard items. These wideband filters isolate and measure large specific bands of light emitted by astronomical objects. Both types have the same ultraviolet, blue and visible filters but different red and infrared filters. The Johnson/Bessel type is better suited for use with a photomultiplier tube, while the Kron/Cousins type is better suited for use with a Silicon CCD.

Features
  • Options for professionals and amateurs alike
  • Ideal for photometric calibration
