This is the light-sensitive element, which is positioned behind a

careful not to touch or scratch the surface of the filter when it is
exposed and to replace the plastic cover whenever the digital back
is not mounted on a camera.

WARNING: never attempt to remove the glass filter—you will
probably ruin the CCD if you do so.
See ‘Cleaning the CCD’ section for details.
