Dichroic Filters: Filters encased in glass for colour printing that are built into an enlarger head. The colour balance of dichroic filters is set by adjusting dials, instead of moving individual filters.

Dichroic Filters Most photographic filters use colored dyes that absorb certain wavelengths and allow others to be transmitted. Such filters do not begin and end transmission at precise wavelengths.

Dichroic Dichroic filters are interference filters at an angle of incidence of light of 45°. The transmissivity and reflectivity of dichroites depend on a specific wavelength of light.

Dichroic RGB filters don't lose light, they spilt it very efficiently between R, G and B. Lossy colored filters absorb all colors, except for the color they pass. Dichroic filters are mirrors which reflect one color and pass the other colors along ...
