Broad band filters - The RGO Glass Broad Band Filters (UBVRIZ)

These filters have been made at RGO from various cemented combinations of Schott glass. R W Argyle specified the combinations which are similar to those in use at the AAT, SAAO and elsewhere. Table 1 shows details of these filters. Three sets exist; one for the INT, one for the JKT and one at Herstmonceux.

The transmission curves are given here:
