The 53-706 Kodak Wratten 2 Neutral Density Color Filter is a rectangular, color glass filter with a size of 76.2 x 76.2 mm and a thickness of 0.1 mm. This filter is sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading vendor in the optical industry. It is designed to provide neutral density, which means it reduces the amount of light entering the optical system without affecting the color composition.
The filter has a catalog number of 53-706 and is available for purchase on the Edmund Optics website, where it is currently in stock. The filter's coating, denoted as 'edm 53-706', is applied to both the front and back surfaces. This coating helps to enhance the filter's performance and durability.
The filter's material ID, 'uvfs mal- 1965', suggests that it is suitable for use in ultraviolet, visible, and short-wave infrared regions of the spectrum. The wavelength of 588 nm indicates the central wavelength of the filter's transmission curve.
In terms of geometry, the filter is shaped as a thin lens, which is a type of lens with a very small thickness compared to its other dimensions. This makes it ideal for use in optical systems where space is limited.
