Polarizers are designed to reduce specular glare by passing only the light polarized in the direction perpendicular to the reflected light (glare). In addition, they help improve contrast, increase color saturation and detect imperfections in transparent materials. MidOpt Polarizing Filters can be easily and securely mounted to your lens and light source for maximum extinction or glare reduction.
*Please specify the axis of polarization direction when inquiring about film

MOUNT & SIZE OPTIONS: Polarizing Filters and Films are available from stock and are ready to ship. Polarizing Filters are available in Threaded Mounts, sizes M22.5 to M105; Slip Mounts; or Unmounted. Polarizing Films are available in multiple thicknesses, and can be custom laser cut to fit any light source with a maximum usable width of 16.5″ and length up to 300′.
POLARIZING FILTER & FILM APPLICATIONS:
Polarizers are commonly used to reduce glare from non-metallic in objects with smooth surfaces or surfaces covered with grease, oil or liquid. For best results, use an optical-grade Polarizer over the lens and Polarizing Film over the light source. The PR120/PG120 offers ultra-high contrast and an anti-reflection oleophobic coating.
