These filters exhibit constant spectral transmittance characteristics in the visible region independent of wavelength. They are ideal for exposure control in colour photography, and are also used for light control in other measuring instruments. They are designed to uphold designated performance capabilities through controlling the thickness.
Applications: Cameras
