The main function of this filter is to enhance the contrast and reduce glare when viewing celestial bodies, making it easier to see details in the image or object being viewed.
While the filter is designed to work optimally with Herschel Wedges, it can be used with other telescopes or microscopes that support 2" or 1.25" eyepieces, thanks to its attached T2-15 adapter.
The T2-15 adapter allows you to conveniently switch between 1.25" eyepieces without removing the filter and still maintaining a close position between the eyepiece and filter. It also provides a convenient means of attaching and removing the Solar Continuum filter.
The filter allows you to variably adjust the brightness of the image by simply rotating the filter/eyepiece combo. This method is effective for achieving the optimum brightness for maximum visual contrast at any magnification.
The 2" Polarization Filter is manufactured by Baader Planetarium, a reputable brand in the field of astronomy and optics.

A high-quality and innovative solution for astrophotography and celestial observation, the 2" Polarization Filter for Herschel Wedge, Double, is a must-have accessory for any astronomy enthusiast. Crafted by the renowned Baader Planetarium, this durable polarizing filter is specifically engineered to enhance your viewing experience when used with Herschel wedges.
The Herschel Wedge's unique attribute is its ability to partially polarize the solar image, providing a convenient way to adjust image brightness.

This method is incredibly effective for achieving optimal brightness and maximum visual contrast at any magnification, enhancing the details and clarity of your celestial observations.
For added convenience, the 2" Polarizer (FPOL-2D) is attached to a T2-15 (2"-1.25" adapter). This innovative design allows you to effortlessly switch between 1.25" eyepieces without the need to remove the filter, maintaining a close position between the eyepiece and filter. The use of a T2-15 also provides a user-friendly means of attaching and removing the Solar Continuum filter.
In essence, the 2" Polarization Filter for Herschel Wedge, Double, is an essential tool for those seeking to enhance their astrophotography and celestial viewing experiences, offering superior contrast, reduced glare, and easy adaptability.
