Response
Sensor-level spectrum for Sony IMX178 (mono), used here as the imaging sensor. Camera filters and windows can change the complete camera response.
- mono
Astro mode
Emission-line overlay on the active single-profile plot. Values are the source's own native samples (or a labelled linear interpolation).
