The lamphouse of the Omega Super Chromega F provides an evenly distributed, repeatable, non-fading light source and dichroic filtration system for enlargement of negatives and transparencies of either color, black and white or variable contrast papers.
Precise filtration is achieved by means of specialy designed dichroic filters which transmit the intended color component of a white light beam to match the characteristics of various color emulsions, and reflect the complimentary color.
Sophisticated dichroic coatings are applied in multiple layers of microscopic thickness. As a result, Super Chromega dichroic filters offer the greatest filtration range (0-170) ever achieved in 8" x 10" dichroic filtration systems.
Filtration settings are numerically displayed on large, illuminated "drum" scales and marked in increments of .05cc for precise control and repeatability. The dichroic lamphouse consists of the lamphouse, cooling system and power supply.
