The MAN-52-1 is a Neutral Density Filter, specifically designed for use in the visible light spectrum, with a wavelength of 550nm. This filter is manufactured by OptoSigma, a renowned vendor in the optical industry, and is available for purchase through their website. The catalog number for this filter is MAN-52-1.
This filter is circular in shape, with a diameter of 52mm and a thickness of 2mm, making it compatible with a wide range of optical systems. The filter is mounted on optical glass, providing durability and stability during use. The front and back of the filter are coated with 'opt and-01', a coating that enhances the filter's performance and longevity.
The MAN-52-1 is an Absorptive Neutral Density Filter, which means it reduces the intensity of light without altering its color balance. This is particularly useful in situations where the intensity of light needs to be controlled, such as in photography or scientific research. The filter is designed to absorb light uniformly across the visible spectrum, from 400-700nm.
The filter has a 'Thin Lens' shape, which is optimized for use in optical systems where space is limited. This shape allows the filter to be used in a variety of applications, from microscopy to astronomy, without compromising on performance.
According to the vendor's website, the filter is currently in stock, making it readily available for purchase and use. The website also provides further technical specifications and details about the filter, for those who wish to learn more.
