enricosavazzi Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I don't know whether it has been reported earlier, but the following paper briefly describes a relatively simple method for chemically removing the Bayer filters from a CMOS sensor: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5087437/pdf/sensors-16-01649.pdf Link to comment
Alaun Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Interesting. They did not stay idle, but built a cheap UV-spectrometer as well: https://www.osapublishing.org/DirectPDFAccess/B3CF4283-EC76-8D43-A7F1B9B70F1932B0_375351/ol-42-21-4323.pdf?da=1&id=375351&seq=0&mobile=no Link to comment

bobfriedman Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I can't open the link either.. Used Safari. Link to comment
dabateman Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 The link may be copied wrong. Try this one: https://www.osapublishing.org/ol/abstract.cfm?uri=ol-42-21-4323 Aluan, do you have an Apple phone. That could be the issue. Link to comment
Alaun Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Ahh, now I get problems as well. Probably some kind of cookies, Iinked direct to the pdf. David's link works. From there you can downlaod the pdf. Link to comment
dabateman Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 They are boiling the sensor in EKC830, at 70 to 100C. The MSDS, says the flashpoint is 100C and is an inhalation risk. So if you do plan to do this and you don't have a chemical safety hood, you should do this only outside and have a fire extinguisher nearby.The rinses are also fun with concentrated Acetone and isopropyl alcohol. Best to do that outside as well.I think the sticky tape method still may be best.Basically, heat up your sensor with a hot gun, like a paint stripping gun. Then use 3m tartan clear tape to pull off the CFA. This wirks well on Canon cameras, but has worked for others. I found this on Cloudy Nights. https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/486810-thinking-about-removing-the-cfa-from-my-20d-thoughts/ Link to comment
