CMOS sensors are used within commercial grade Digital SLR cameras as a replacement for the more expensive CCD. These CMOS sensors are extremely sensitive to IR light, which can lead to discolouration. IR cut filters are used to block the IR light, meaning that photographs are taken with life-like colours. Colour Glass Filters can be used in variations of Bandpass, Long pass and Short pass, depending on which wavelengths of light need to be blocked resulting in different key areas being more easily distinguished. Knight Optical offers Colour Glass and IR cut filters for such an application, with a wide range of band widths and cut on/off wavelengths. As above these are available as Bandpass, Long pass or Short pass filters and we can also offer customised filters with coatings specific to the wavelength of your choice. We hold a massive inventory of IR cut, Bandpass, Long Pass and Short Pass filters: Read PDF for more info….

The mechanical iris is a camera aperture component inspired by the human eye's iris, designed to precisely control the amount of light transmitted. It consists of a series of staggered curved thin metal blades, and by adjusting the relative motion of these blades—either closing or expanding—the size of the central circular opening is modified, thereby precisely controlling the light transmission. This design is not only applied in the apertures of photographic equipment but also in a variety of window systems for automatic light regulation and in security systems that control light to protect sensitive equipment.
