There are 384-well injection optimized optics with the light guides turned in an angle that makes space for
the injection to take place.
Note: Please be careful when positioning the needle.
4.4 Filters
In the FLUOstar Optima, 4 excitation and 4 emission filters are factory installed, in the POLARstar OPTIMA,
4 excitation and 5 emission filters are factory installed. (Filter selection varies with instrument configuration. If
your unit is equipped with luminescence, then a lens will be installed. The absorbance option will also add
filters.)
The position of the factory-installed filters can be found in the shipment information that follows the
instrument.
After installation of the software, the filter must be typed in the filter table (figure 25). In the Control software,
the filter table can be reached by choosing ‘Setup | Filter’ (see the software manual for additional
information).

example of entered values
In the control software you have to type in the filters that are installed (‘Setup | Filters’). It is necessary to
label the empty position in the emission wheel with a name e.g. “empty”.
4.4.1 Filter Change and Installation
All BMG filters have an arrow printed on the side to indicate the direction in which they should be installed.
The arrow should point in the same direction as the light. If the filter is being installed in the excitation wheel,
the arrow should point outwards toward the front of the unit. If the filter is to be placed in the emission wheel,
the arrow should face inward toward the back of the unit.
