UV Cut Filter in Z3200
« on: May 18, 2009, 05:12:01 pm »

Just wanted to verify that the Z3200 has a uv cut filter on the built in i1?
Thanks
Steven

UV Cut Filter in Z3200

The ESP doesn't emit light in the assumed low end wavelength where UVs are normally present. According to Graeme Gill colour scientist there can be some spikes in other regions but it's a moving target that would have much less chance of incidence outside of the <430 nm  range.
So a normal spectro , i.e., gas filled tungsten has to have a an optic filter but LED can be made so with selection of narrow band LEDs in essence a filtration making a largely reduced UV emission hence UV cut.
I believe on the IsIs automated X-Rite spectro there are both narrow and wider LEDs so booth UV cut and UV readings are possible.
