However, this often applied method is based on various assumptions. In addition, the observational basis and required, but only assumed cloud properties, such as a limited wavelength-coverage of the SED and dust properties, respectively, may differ between different studies. We review the basic limitations of this method and evaluate their impact on the derived physical properties of the objects of interest, that is, molecular clouds and filaments. We find that the highest uncertainty when applying this method is introduced by the often poorly constrained dust properties. Therefore, we propose to first derive the optical depth and subsequently the column density with the help of a suitable dust model as the optical depth can be obtained with high accuracy, especially at longer wavelengths. The method provides reliable results up to the high densities and corresponding optical depths observed in molecular clouds. Considering typically used observational data, that is, measurements obtained with FIR instruments like Herschel/PACS, JCMT/SCUBA-2 and SOFIA/HAWC+, data at four wavelengths are sufficient to obtain accurate results.
