MidOpt SP Series – VIS Pass Filter SP570
Uniforce Product
Salient Features
Blue-Green Shortpass Filter
Useful for applications requiring the complete removal of orange, red and near infrared portions of the spectrum. Some common applications: include viewing hot rolled steel or, often in conjunction with a suitable neutral density filter, viewing arc welding operations.
SP570 Blue-Green Shortpass Filter
- Useful Range : 410-560nm
- Cut-off Wavelength 50% T : 570nm
- Tolerance : +/- 10nm
- Minimum Peak Transmission : ≥90%
- Surface Quality : 40/20
The performance of a filter is based on what happens to light passing through the filter. The apparent color of light reflected off the surface is not a reliable way to judge the filter’s capabilities. Batch-to-batch difference in the apparent color of the coatings or filter substrates can often be easily seen when looking at two examples of the same filter type. The color of the coating does not indicate a disparity in performance.

Available Mounts
Threaded Mount
- Designed for lenses with filter threads, a variety of filter types and stock threaded sizes are available: M13.25-M105
- Larger sizes, 62mm to 105mm, are made to order and are not returnable
- Custom thread sizes are available upon request.
- Threaded mounts are available as black anodized aluminum rings. Rotating mounts with locking thumb screws are generally provided.
Ordering Example:
- Filter: BP470

Slip Mount
- Designed for varifocal lenses, wide angle lenses and lenses without filter threads
- Accommodates standard threaded mounts
- Low profile and oversize diameter design prevents wide angle lens vignetting
- Locking set screws and a wrench are provided to secure the adapter to the lens
- Many varifocal and shorter fixed focal length (wide angle) lenses are not supplied with filter threads due to the presence of a protruding, strongly convex lens element. Our slip mount adapters allow standard threaded filters to be fitted securely to these and a large variety of lenses that do not have filter threads provided.
Ordering Example:
- Filter: BP470
- Outside Diameter of Lens in mm: 43mm
Correct Part# is:
- BP470-S43

C/CS Camera Mount
- Designed to thread directly into any C/CS mount camera between the lens and sensor
- Wrenching slots aid in threading the filter into the camera body. A wrench is supplied with each filter.
- Helpful in applications with space constraints
- Can be used with wide angle lenses that do not accept filters at the front end to prevent vignetting
- C/CS mount filters are available in a standard 1mm thickness
Ordering Example:
- Filter: BP470
- Mount Size: 25.4
Correct Part# is:
- BP470-25.4

Unmounted & Custom Size
- Any MidOpt filter type can be provided as an Unmounted filter
- Custom shapes and sizes are typically fabricated with one day to two week lead times
- Custom filter types with longer lead times can also be quoted. Please contact us regarding feasibility.
