EL Nikkor lenses are designed primarily for photographic enlargers. EL Nikkor lenses can also be used for specific projection and close-up photography as they process a high resolution throughout a wide range of wavelength. Particularly, they are ideal for taking photographs under near ultraviolet ray which is emitted from cathode ray tube and fluorescent screen.
