Schneider-Kreuznach Neutral Density Filter 43 mm ND 0.6

Schneider-Kreuznach neutral density (ND) filters uniformly reduce light intensity across the visible spectrum without affecting color balance or depth of field. By absorbing part of the incoming light, they prevent overexposure or sensor damage in demanding imaging, metrology, and laser applications.

The ND 0.6 filter reduces evenly the transmittance of light over the entire VIS spectrum. It decreases the brightness of an image without changing the depth of field (DoF). It attenuates light by absorbing a part of the energy of the VIS wavelength, without influence on the color balance. ND filters are used to control the intensity of light going through an optical system to avoid overexposure, blooming on imaging sensors and prevent damages on light sensitive measuring sensors.

Mounts for Industrial Optical Filters

C-Mount

Defined by 1” (25.4mm) diameter and 32 turns per inch pitch, the C-Mount thread is a popular camera mount in machine vision industry. Schneider-Kreuznach offers a C-Mount option for most filters. So filters can go in any C-Mount based mechanics in vision systems.

Another popular application, C-Mounts can easily be used for, is placing a filter in front of the sensor into the camera. The extension of the back flange distance has to be considered for imaging applications.

Key Features of C-Mount Filters:
Fits in C-Mount cameras
Black Anodized Brass

Applications of C-Mount Filters:
To be mounted in C-Mount cameras
Vision Systems based on C-Mount mechanics
