ProScan™II Filter Wheel System
The Filter Wheel system delivers smooth, high speed operation and changes filters in as little as 55ms. Two wheels are available to accept ten 25mm or eight 32mm diameter filters. The filter wheel can be fitted to the excitation and emission ports of your microscope and up to two filter wheels on the OptiScanII systems, or three filter wheels on the ProScanII. Both systems are capable of operating three shutters from a single controller via a serial port or an optional filter wheel keypad. An optional sliding filter holder can be fitted for neutral density or infrared filters. Up to three shutters (HF200) can be mounted directly to a microscope illuminator, a camera port or used in conjunction with a filter wheel. Control is via a serial port or the optional filter wheel keypad.

Ludl Electronic Products Ltd Filter Wheels
The LEP filter wheel provides fast, automated and efficient optical filter changing for microscopes. The filter wheel position is digitally encoded which makes it immune to slippage and skipping errors. Filter positioning errors affect the performance of the micrsocope and add uneccessary variations to the measurement results. The wheel is driven by a DC servo specifically selected for smooth, quiet, damped wheel motion. The LEP filter wheels utilize the MAC 5000 controller system. The MAC 5000 provides high performance and flexibility and is supported with almost any available imaging software application. The filter wheel is designed to be robust and accurate.

Sutter Instruments 10-2 & DG4 Filter Systems
The Lambda 10-2 is a microprocessor controlled, high speed filter wheel. Its impressive speed coupled with exceptionally smooth operation make the Lambda 10-2 ideal for research applications involving fluorescence microscopy, ratio imaging, spectrophotometry, visual physiology, or any application requiring rapid and accurate aperture positioning.

The Lambda DG-4 offers unprecedented speed and versatility for experiments requiring rapid light wavelength switching. It offers all the advantages of interference filter-based systems, yet eliminates the temporal constraints imposed by filter switching devices.

OASIS-4i Four Axis Controller
The Objective Imaging OASIS-4i controller is a PCI compliant plug-and-play board that provides control of up to four micro-stepping motors.  This allows precise movement of XY stages and focus mechanisms (the Z axis), and the fourth axis controller allows for automation of extra peripheral devices such as filter wheels.

OASIS-4i is a complete, self-contained solution.  No additional power supplies are required--just install the board into a Windows PC, connect the appropriate cables and you are ready to move XY stages, focus motors, and other peripheral devices.
