Frequently Asked Questions

Gelatine ND filters are the cheapest but tend to have more fluctuation with wavelength and a narrower wavelength range than glass ND filters and metallic types. Gelatine neutral density filters can also be cut easily to bespoke custom sizes in your own laboratory which can be extremely useful.

Gelatine neutral density filters work by absorption so care must be taken to avoid overheating which can lead to damage to the filter.

Neutral density filters are used in applications such as spectroscopy, machine vision, ellipsometry, and photography.

A neutral density filter attenuates light by a constant amount that is independent of the wavelength.

Mounting options are available for both mounted and unmounted neutral density filters.
