A variety of emission filters can be used in the imager. The appropriate filter choice
is dependent on the emission wavelength of the sample. Consult Table 2-5 in
Chapter 2 to confirm the filter choice is appropriate for the application.
The filter wheel allows for easy installation and removal by using threaded filters.
The filters are fragile, so use caution when handling and installing or removing.
IMPORTANT When installing filters, ensure that the filter threads are correctly
aligned with the filter wheel threads. Forcing a filter to screw in can result in cross
threading and damage to the filter wheel.
1. Turn off the system power.
2. Open the imager door and locate the filter wheel at the rear of the cabinet. Each
filter position is labeled with a red position number.
Position 1 Permanently empty for chemiluminescent imaging
