Cold mirror filter

The FILTER DL-CUT 15,5X1,5 is a high-quality day light cut filter and has optically polished surfaces. The polished surface allows the use of the filter directly in the path of rays in image processing applications. The filter is protected against scratches during the transport by a protection film that has to be removed before the installing the filter.

Thickness 1.5 +/- 0.2 mm
Material Solaris S 306
Characteristics Tavg > 80% > 780 nm
  AOI = 0 degrees
  Protective foil on both sides
  Without antireflexion
  Without bezel
