This survey of filters useful in optical work includes the range from ultraviolet through infrared. Descriptions of absorption filters making use of solid, liquid, and gaseous absorbers are treated in Part I. Part II contains descriptions of polarization, interference, and Christiansen types of filter as well as devices occasionally used in lieu of filters such as focal isolation and residual ray apparatus, gratings, and powder films used effectively as scatterers.
