We have investigated the status of the EPIC thin and medium filters by performing an analysis of the optical loading in the PN offset maps to gauge variations in the optical and UV transmission of the filters. We both investigated repeated observations of single optically bright targets and performed a statistical analysis of the extent of loading versus visual magnitude at different epochs. We report the results of these measurements. | Note: | Copyright 2013 Society of PhotoOptical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE). One print or electronic copy may be made for personal use only.
