16-059 25 mm Diameter SCHOTT NG5 Precision Absorptive Neutral Density Filter; OD 0.7 450-700nm

The 16-059 is a precision absorptive neutral density filter, designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics. This filter is part of the SCHOTT NG5 family, known for their high-quality optical glass, and is characterized by its circular shape with a 25 mm diameter. The filter's primary function is to reduce the intensity of light entering an optical system, without altering the color balance, making it an essential component in various optical applications.

The filter's coating, denoted as 'edm 16-059' on both the front and back surfaces, contributes to its neutral density properties. This coating ensures that the filter absorbs light evenly across the visible spectrum, from 450 to 700 nanometers. The filter's optical density (OD) is 0.7, which translates to a reduction of approximately 50% in light intensity.

The filter's geometry includes a thickness of 2.95 mm, and it features a thin lens shape. This shape, combined with the high-quality glass and precise coating, ensures minimal distortion and high transmittance, making it suitable for use in high-precision optical systems.
