If you have not yet mounted the filter wheel on the support hardware, please refer to the
FIRST TIME USE chapter of this manual for instructions. Now move the mounted filter
wheel to the approximate final location and adjust the filter wheel to the desired height. The
filter wheel can be mounted on the posts in either orientation (optical port up or down), as
required. The filter wheel can now be interfaced with other instruments (e.g. a microscope

adapter or require a custom adapter for your experimental setup, please contact the
Technical Support staff at Sutter Instrument Company by phone (415 883-0128) or by E-
mail (info@sutter.com).
