We recommend the following procedure if you
need to install filters without direction markings
(arrow):
Filters with reflective, dielectric layers should be
installed so that the reflective layer
–
Points out for an excitation filter (in relation
to the reflector module)
and
–
Points in for an emission filter (Fig. 2-28).

Changing color splitter in P&C
reflector module
Extreme care is required when attaching the
filter and color splitter to avoid damage to the
optical elements and to keep them clean.
We recommend ordering completely equipped
P&C reflector modules since changing the color
splitter has higher requirements.
To replace a color splitter:
•
Remove P&C reflector module from
reflector revolver.
•
Loosen both slotted screws
(2-29/
1
) with a screwdriver.
•
Hold together both halves of the reflector
module, turn against the installation
position and set aside.
