What is the Best Filter Location?

Post by Doppler9000 »

I am going to be embarking on some macro work using a full spectrum camera.

If I am using an infinite objective and tube lens, what is the best location for the filter(s)?

Accessories like this are one of the main reason everyone moved to infinity optics. At low mags it won't matter but at high mag/na putting a filter in front of your lens could cause trouble, while it shouldn't matter at all if put into the infinity space behind the objective.
