BK7 glass cover slip filter

!



A high quality plain (BK7) glass filter to keep dust and debris away
from your imaging chip.


Nothing is more annoying than having a great image spoilt by debris on your cameras imaging chip. With web imaging this can be a serious problem ­ once the webcam lens has been removed, a direct pathway for particulate material is open to the imaging chip and it is almost impossible to stop dust and debris building up (and creating nasty artefacts that integrating software tends to favour over planetary detail!) and spoiling images. In the worst cases you can end up confined to using tiny portions of the chip that are not marred by the build up of debris. Our screw-on cover slip filter solves this problem once and for all. If you fit the filter with the nosepiece you will avoid the problem completely. If you already have a “dust bunny” problem, then carefully clean up the chip and fit the filter, and you may never have to clean the chip again. The BK7 glass in our filter passes all imaging bandwidth and has no detectable effect on the image. Supplied in foam filled plastic storage case.


 

Super-lite eyepiece projection coupler for webcams

!


Designed for use with all webcams fitted with any 1.25" nosepiece (e.g. our AC378, AC414, AC419, AC463 and AC464 screw-in nosepieces).

Click image to see just two of the camera positions. Please note the Super-lite is designed for use with very lightweight cameras and is not for use with heavy CCD or film cameras!
