Building a DIY Spectroscope with Fujifilm X-Trans Cameras (and Why Not with Bayer Sensor)

Share

When we talk X-Trans virtues, we often talk about the more film like looking grain, the less color noise at high ISO, less moiré, sharpness boost etc.

But the X-Trans array might have some other advantages most of us would not think of. For example, in today’s case we see how ideal X-Trans is to create a DIY Spectorscope to measure the wavelengths of light.

In fact, when comparing the X-Trans vs Bayer sensor for this project, mpr decided to go for X-Trans, because each column of the X-Trans sensor contains all three colors (red, blue, green), whereas each column of the Bayer sensor only has 2 colors.

This makes it a lot easier to use the X-Trans data for the spectorscope.

From there, mpr will guide you through the process and if you are interested definitely watch his video.

Nice to see yet another creative and useful application of the X-Trans sensor.
