The ND530B is a circular, unmounted Neutral Density (ND) filter, boasting a diameter of 0.5 inches and a thickness of 1 millimeter. Manufactured by Thorlabs, a renowned vendor in the optical industry, this filter is made of N-BK7 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transmittance and low auto-fluorescence.
The ND530B features a front and back coating of THo ND30, a reflective coating that provides an optical density of 3.0 at a wavelength of 633 nanometers. This high optical density significantly reduces the amount of light passing through the filter, making it ideal for high-intensity lighting situations or for controlling exposure in photography and cinematography.
The filter's thin lens shape allows for easy integration into various optical systems.
