Domain optics
  • one which attenuates all colours uniformly so that the relative spectral distribution of the energy of the transmitted light has been unaltered
neutral density filter
Usage examples
  • It may be desired in some cases (such as when measuring low-reflectivity surfaces) to use an intermediate calibration point (between 0 and 100 % on the scale) with this method. In these cases, a neutral density filter of known transmittance shall be inserted in the optical path, and the calibration control shall then be adjusted until the meter reads the percentage transmission of the neutral density filter.
