1.3.2 Filter Wheels

When a LAMBDA 10-B Filter Wheel system is purchased, its configuration may include one
filter wheel, with or without a shutter. If the LAMBDA 10-B system is purchased with a 10-
position 25mm (1-inch) filter wheel, you may wish to exchange the filter wheel with a 10-
position 32mm or a 5-position 50mm filter wheel. If the filter wheel being replaced is a 10-
position 32mm filter wheel equipped with a 35mm shutter (UNIBLITZ® or SmartShutter),
then LAMBDA 10-B controller must be modified by Sutter Instrument Co. before said filter
wheel with shutter is connected. If the 32mm filter wheel is not equipped with a shutter, or if
installing a 50mm filter wheel, then no modification to the LAMBDA 10-B controller is
needed. Note that you must only use filter wheels manufactured by Sutter Instrument
Company. All filter wheel options are listed in the Sutter Instrument catalogue and in the
following list.
