Infrared Blocking

IR_Block_technical

Color cameras are more sensitive than the human eye in the near-infrared (IR) portion of the spectrum. This can create strange colors, making an image appear unnatural. When using a color camera and imaging with white light, it can be beneficial to block near-IR light in order to achieve natural, realistic colors.

Applications Solutions

  • Block IR Wavelengths for Natural Color Rendition
    Before: Camera without IR and UV block filter, non-visible light interferes with accurate color rendition.
    After: SP700 Near-IR/UV Block-Visible Filter blocks UV and IR to create true-to-eye images
