The 16-051 is a precision absorptive neutral density filter, part of the extensive catalog offered by Edmund Optics. This filter is designed with a base shape of a circle, featuring a diameter of 25 mm and a thickness of 2.84 mm, making it a compact and versatile option for various optical applications.
The filter is made from SCHOTT NG11 material, a high-quality glass renowned for its excellent optical properties. This material is specifically chosen for its ability to maintain high transmittance across a broad spectrum, making it ideal for use in a wide range of wavelengths.
The 16-051 filter boasts a neutral density of 0.3, which is achieved through a precise absorptive coating on both the front and back surfaces. This coating, identified as EDM 16-051, is designed to absorb a specific amount of light, thereby reducing the overall intensity of the transmitted light without altering its color balance.
The filter's coating is applied using a thin lens technique, ensuring minimal impact on the overall optical path. This results in a high-performance filter that maintains the integrity of the optical system while providing the desired light reduction.
The 16-051 filter is currently in stock and available for purchase through the Edmund Optics website. For more detailed information, including pricing and availability, please refer to the provided weblink.
