WRATTEN Filter

A type of filter created by dissolving organic dyes in a gelatin material to achieve the desired spectral performance. The gelatin liquid and dye combination is then coated onto a supportive substrate until it has dried. After removal from the substrate, the film is coated with laquer for protection. Although the filters are coated, they should be handled only by the edges or in the corners to avoid damage.
