Imaging: Current Filter Set

UIST has two 24-slot filter wheels which contain filters for both imaging and for blocking the spectroscopy grisms. The MKO consortium filter set is installed where possible (see the discussion of new JHK standards for example). We list the imaging filters in the table below, the actual population of the filter wheels is also available. Click on the filter name to see an image of the profile; text files are also available giving transmission profiles for some of the filters, contact Watson P. Varricatt. The 3.6nbL' filter appears to have some surface damage and produces trailed images at a low level.
