THE FILTERS ARE PRECISION OPTICAL COMPONENTS, WHICH
SHOULD BE HANDLED BY THE EDGES AND NOT SCRATCHED OR
STORED FACE DOWN IN A DRAWER. ONCE THE FILTERS ARE
INSTALLED IN THE SLIDE, THEY ARE RELATIVELY WELL
PROTECTED, BUT CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED WHEN HANDLING
In order to install a custom filter do the following:
If required, carefully insert a polarizer at the excitation and emission half of the
filter slide using tweezers, taking care not to scratch it or get fingerprints on it.
1. Carefully insert the filter into the opening, taking care not to scratch or get
fingerprints on the filter.
2. Place the stop-ring on the end of the filter assembly tool and turn it so it
cannot slip off.
3. Using the filter assembly tool, push the stop-ring into the filter slot and press
firmly into place.
4. Rotate the tool until the notch in the stop-ring is aligned with the end of the
filter assembly tool and remove the tool.
5. If there are unused openings remaining after the required filters have been
inserted (e.g. the emission part of an absorbance filter), filter dummies
should be mounted in the holes that are still open.
