>>>>No, the whole point is that almost all of the CD laser light AND the scattered light is invisible infrared. Only a relatively small percentage is visible (red). That’s why the black tray and the Green Pen are relatively ineffective. NDM removes visible and invisible scattered light. It’s the problem nobody knew about. That’s the whole point.
