CCD and IR filter 16

This is the light-sensitive element, which is positioned behind a permanently mounted IR filter. Usually, this assembly will either be inside the camera or protected by the cover. Always be very careful not to touch or scratch the surface of the filter when it is exposed and to replace the plastic cover whenever the digital back is not mounted on a camera.

WARNING: never attempt to remove the glass filter—you will probably ruin the CCD if you do so.
