The 16-056 is a precision absorptive neutral density filter from Edmund Optics, designed with a base shape of 50 x 50 mm. This filter is part of the SCHOTT NG5 family, known for its high-quality optical glass, and features a thickness of 2.11 mm.
The neutral density filter is designed to reduce the intensity of light without altering its color composition, making it an essential tool for various applications such as photography, cinematography, and laser applications. The 16-056 filter has an optical density (OD) of 0.5, which means it reduces the light intensity by a factor of 10^0.5 or approximately 30%.
The filter's wavelength is 588nm, which is within the visible light spectrum. It is coated on both the front and back with EDM 16-055, a coating that enhances its performance and durability. The shape of the filter is thin lens, which is ideal for applications that require minimal thickness and weight.
The 16-056 filter is currently in stock and can be purchased directly from the Edmund Optics website. It is a versatile and reliable option for anyone in need of a high-quality neutral density filter.
