What does a narrow band filter do?
Narrowband filters capture a small part of the visual spectrum. Narrowband filters are narrow in order to pass a very restricted band of wavelengths around specific emission lines of Ha, SII, OIII.
Can I use narrow band filters with one shot Colour cameras?
Narrowband imaging with a color camera is not only possible, but I have found it to be an excellent way of adding detail and structure to my astrophotography images. If you currently own a one-shot-color camera or DSLR, I highly recommend trying some narrowband filters with it such as Ha (Hydrogen-alpha).
What is an OIII filter?
Product description. The legendary Lumicon 2″ OIII narrow band-pass filter isolates just the two doubly ionized oxygen lines (496 and 501nm lines) emitted by diffuse, planetary and faint nebulae. Thus, these faint objects become much more visible against the blackened background of space.
Are there long term side effects of narrowband UVB?
Chronic side effects of narrowband UVB may include skin aging and photocarcinogenesis, which may lead to skin cancer. Though these long-term effects are yet to be fully investigated, treatment by narrowband UVB is required three times a week, for up to 18 months.
Is it safe to take Narrowband UVB for lymphoma?
Many studies, on light-skinned patients, suggested narrowband-UVB to be effective and safe for the treatment of early stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Objectives. To evaluate the efficacy and side effects of narrowband-UVB in treatment of early stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma in patients with skin phototypes III, IV, and V. Methods.
How does Narrowband UVB affect the immune system?
Since it is the immune system which destroys the pigment-producing melanocytes, narrowband UVB stabilizes the abnormal immune response by causing the death of the cells involved in the immune response and by triggering the release of chemicals which suppress the immune system and impair its aggression.
How does Narrowband UVB work to treat melanoma?
Narrowband UVB therapy also stimulates viable melanocytes within the depigmented area, which may have survived the attack of the immune system. Furthermore, narrowband UVB stimulates functioning melanocytes at the edges of the lesions peripherally to migrate into the affected area and aid in repigmentation.
