This modification removes the UV/IR blocking filter ( Hotmirror ) from your camera and replaces it with a neutral filter. With this modification the maximum sensitivity of the camera sensor for UV radiation, for visible light and for infrared radiation is guaranteed. The sensitivity of the sensor starts (depending on the model) at approx. 300-320 nm and ends at 1,100-1,200 nm.
After the conversion, your camera is suitable for all forensic examinations. This includes building forensic examinations, forensic medical examinations and art restoration techniques. However, suitable spectral filters (long-pass, short-pass or band-pass filters) and, if necessary, special light sources are always required for meaningful use. A fully developed and extensively tested filter set for building forensics can be ordered from Prof. Andreas O. Rapp. Special lamps and accessories for the analysis of wooden instruments can be ordered from Shop-Schilbach .
Note: For cameras with a *, the automatic sensor cleaning function is lost during conversion. After the conversion, the sensor can be cleaned dry (e.g. with compressed air) or wet (e.g. with swabs) as usual. All preparations and methods available on the market for sensor cleaning can be used.
