Absorptive neutral density filters

With their ability to minimize back-reflections and scattered light, absorptive neutral density (ND) filters are ideal for calibration. In contrast to the metallic type, absorption-type filters achieve their optical density by absorbing light within the substrate. For this reason, thickness is a key determinant of opacity. Because of their absorbing quality, these filters are suitable for low-power applications only.

Features
  • Sets provide a uniform series of filters for adjusting illumination
  • Custom substrate materials and dimensions available
