The 16-057 is a precision absorptive neutral density filter, designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics, a leading global supplier of optical components. This filter is part of the SCHOTT NG5 family, renowned for their high-quality optical glass, and is characterized by its 25 mm diameter and 2.54 mm thickness.
The primary function of this filter is to reduce the intensity of light entering an optical system, without altering its color composition. This is achieved through the use of an advanced absorptive coating, applied to both the front and back surfaces of the filter. The coating has an optical density (OD) of 0.6, which corresponds to a reduction in light intensity of approximately 40%.
The filter is designed to operate within the wavelength range of 450-700nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including photography, cinematography, and scientific research. Its thin lens shape allows for easy integration into various optical systems, while its circular geometry provides uniform light reduction across the entire aperture.
The 16-057 filter is currently in stock and available for purchase through the Edmund Optics website. For more detailed specifications and purchasing information, please refer to the provided weblink.
