The FW-2000 is an automated or manually controlled motorized filter wheel that can introduce any one of eight 25.4 mm filters or transmissive windows in series with an optical path. Applications include photography, fluorescence microscopy and photometry.
The 104 mm filter wheels are easily interchangeable and can accommodate filter/window thicknesses from 1 to 8 millimeters. The clear aperture diameter is 23 mm. The aperture may be rotated continuously through 360 degrees about the motor axis in order to provide the user maximum flexibility in a given optical setup.
The unit may be controlled locally by means of two push buttons (CW, CCW) or remotely by means of the unit's USB 2.0 interface. The current position of the wheel is indicated by a seven segment LED display. Windows™ compatible application software is provided that allows the user to determine status, command selection of any filter and also program a filter sequence to be followed with selectable dwell times.
