16-048 50 x 50 mm SCHOTT NG12 Precision Absorptive Neutral Density Filter; OD 0.1 450-700nm

The 16-048 is a 50 x 50 mm Precision Absorptive Neutral Density Filter, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. This filter is specifically designed for applications that require precise control over light intensity, without altering the color balance.

The filter is made from SCHOTT NG12, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transmittance and low auto-fluorescence. The NG12 material ensures high optical quality, making it suitable for use in various applications, including imaging, spectroscopy, and beam shaping.

The filter has an Optical Density (OD) of 0.1 in the spectral range of 450-700nm. This means it reduces the light intensity by a factor of 1.26, offering a subtle yet effective reduction in light intensity. The 0.1 OD is ideal for applications where a slight reduction in light is required, without significantly impacting the exposure time.

The filter's geometry measures 50 x 50 mm, with a thickness of 4.95mm. This rectangular shape and dimensions make it compatible with most optical systems that accept square filters. The filter's thin lens shape ensures minimal distortion and maintains the integrity of the beam path.

The filter is coated on both sides with the EDM 16-047 coating. This absorptive coating is designed to provide high uniformity and consistency, ensuring the filter performs optimally across the entire spectral range. The coating also offers excellent durability, protecting the filter from environmental factors and ensuring long-lasting performance.
