Technical Report
Solar Eclipse is one of the simplest celestial wonders that can be viewed without expensive equipments by anyone. With
the myths attached, this is also an opportunity for science enthusiasts and scientific organization, to encourage common
man to give up mistaken notions and to come forward to understand and reason the science behind Eclipses. Jan 2010
eclipse is significant, as it is the last in the decade and there is no solar eclipse till Dec 2019 in India.
During the solar eclipses out of curiosity one certainly tends to look at the sun. A safe solar filter is a necessity during the
time of eclipses. What is a ‘safe and comfortable’ solar filter?
Eye Safety:
Internationally accepted safety norms are as follows.
For the waveband between 380 and 1400 nm (sun radiation that reaches earth), we find a filter with a luminous
transmittance of 0.032% in the visible spectrum corresponding to a shade number of 12 provides "adequate" retinal
protection during solar viewing.” However it does not provide eye comfort.
Eye Comfort while viewing the sun:
A filter with a luminous transmittance of 0.001% or optical density 5 or less is often preferable.
Labeling:
Internationally, it is expected that the solar goggles mention on its packaging the following information: a) name and
address of manufacturer b) instructions for use in looking at the sun or a solar eclipse; c) warnings that filters that are
damaged or separated from their mountings should be discarded; and d) warnings against the use of the filter with optical
devices such as binoculars, telescopes or cameras e) advice on storage, cleaning and maintenance, as appropriate.
What makes Nebula Solar Goggles safe and comfortable to view?
Essentially blocks maximum UV (the Near UV) and reduces the glare by 1,00,00 times. This is obtained by a deposition of
metal layer of sufficient thickness (optical density 5). The base material used has excellent absorption in infrared region
Apart from this, it ensures pinhole free solar filter. This is obtained by a minimum of two layered metalized laminated film.
The probability of pinholes reduces to nil with this combination
Nebula Solar Goggles follow the international norms as mentioned above.
These solar filters are certified for safety by Dr Agarwal’s hospital (for eye specialty) Bangalore, after stringent
experimentation and analysis. The safety certificates are included in this report.
The % T data is measured at various advanced research laboratories like IIT Madras and also at Filmetrics, California-USA
This is the only solar filter with R & D efforts and safety certification in India.
Conclusion:
Practically the % T is far below 0.001% in near IR and near UV. In visible region it is well below 0.0001%, as NO
equipment has sensed the transmittance between 400-700 nm. The optical density can comfortably be said to be of value 5.
