"SLIDE-IN" and "DROP-IN" in the Sutter catalogue. At this point there are no slide-in or
drop-in filter holders for 32 mm systems, although there is a fixed filter position for a heat-
blocking filter in most 32 mm microscope adapters offered by Sutter Instrument Company.
Slide-in and drop-in filter holders are not available for the 50 mm filter wheels.

1.3.4.1 Filter Wheel Adapters

Most microscopes, cameras, light sources and other optical instruments to which the
LAMBDA 10-B Filter Wheel may be interfaced will require some sort of adapter to link the
devices. Adapters for interfacing the Filter Wheel to most instruments are available from
Sutter Instrument Company or can be custom built by Sutter. Suitable adapters are
available from other sources, as well, but Sutter Instrument Company assumes no
responsibility for the performance, suitability and safety of adapters built by the user or
other manufacturers.

1.3.5 Shutters

If you purchase a LAMBDA 10-B Filter Wheel system without a shutter and later decide to
add one to the system, the Filter Wheel must be returned to the factory for the upgrade. The
current version of the LAMBDA 10-B Filter Wheel controller can support a retrofit with a
Smart
Shutter or traditional shutter, without modification. The installation of a traditional
shutter may require the setting of a jumper to configure the driver circuit for the size of
shutter installed. You must only use shutters installed by Sutter Instrument Company --
contact Sutter Instrument Company or your distributor for details. All shutter options are
listed in the Sutter Instrument catalogue and in the following list.

1.3.6 SmartShutter Mounts

An 8-32 screw-mount hole exists on the edge of the SmartShutter opposite the motor, into
which may be attached a mounting post of any desired length. When the SmartShutter is
mounted on a post using this screw-mount hole, the exact center of the shutter aperture is
precisely aligned with the vertical center of the post. Posts of various lengths are available

Where vignetting is an issue, the 35mm SmartShutter (IQ35-SA) is recommended.
