Thanks BobORama and petrochemist, good information and advice.

Before I read your response I allready tried the abrasive method. Well, with partial success.

As you can see, the sensor is not fully dead yet. I scratched the sensor. Also I must have damaged some of the gold wires. And since I removed the hot mirror filter, which is quite thick, the AF is off. The exposure is off also.

This is not a big loss, since I used a sensor from a broken camera I bought through Ebay. I will try to get another one for cheap.

The next sensor I will treat with Toluene.

I will post again, if there is progress.

Bayer Filter and micro lenses partially scratched off a Nikon V1 sensor.
