Turn the spanner wrench so that the widest end is toward the filter cup and slip the wrench
into the two notches in the edge of the cup. Then turn the wrench clockwise to screw the cup
back into the slider. DO NOT push on the cup. Just screw it in until it seats firmly. It should
then be possible to remove the retaining ring as described above without the cup turning.
It may appear that removal of the cover plate from the housing would facilitate loading
filters. This is not the case! Removal of the cover plate will not give you access to the filter
cup side of the wheel and may lead to misalignment of and damage to the Filter Wheel.
Under no conditions should you ever remove the cover plate or the filter wheel from t

In most cases any given filter could be installed at any of the ten FILTER POSITIONS.
However, some minor considerations may improve performance of the system. Adjacent
FILTER POSITIONS will require less switching time. Therefore, if an experiment will
require rapid switching between two filters they should be located next to one another. If
separation by one or more occupied filter positions is necessary, keep in mind that there will
be brief transitions through, possibly, undesirable wavelengths as light transmits through
those intervening filter(s) unless a shutter is installed and programmed for use.

Use of Blanking Discs
The blanking discs should only be removed from those positions that will contain a filter. The
discs are intended as a safety device to reduce the risk of the user sustaining serious and
permanent eye damage from looking in the microscope when dangerous high intensity light
is present. We strongly urge that the discs be used. Please be careful and avoid the possibility
of direct visualization of high intensity light.

The Lambda 10-3 can drive two wheel-mounted shutters. That shutter can be either a Sutter
Instrument SmartShutter or a Uniblitz shutter. In either case, the wheel can be either a one-
inch or a 32 mm wheel. A wheel with a smart shutter installed will attach to the DB-25
connector on the back of the controller. A wheel with a Uniblitz shutter attached will connect
via the DB-15 connector on the rear of the controller.
