If you want to add new filters or replace existing ones with
filters of different wavelengths, you need to:
•
Change the excitation or emission filters (or both) in the
filter wheels inside the CytoFluor scanner.
•
Change the filter settings in the Maintenance screen.
This section describes how to perform these tasks.
CAUTION
If you do not correctly install the filters in the filter wheels
and change the corresponding settings in the software, you
could permanently damage the CytoFluor system and void
your warranty. Each filter position must contain a filter or a
blocking plug.
This procedure describes how to change the excitation and
emission filters. The diagrams show the excitation filter
assembly. Follow the same steps when changing either type
of filter. Figure 6-1 shows the position of the excitation and
emission filter assemblies inside the scanner.
