Selected Filters:
Filter Wheels
Prior ScientificThe filter wheels can fit to either the excitation or emission side of the imaging device. Magnetic covers over the filter load position on both sides of the filter wheel give easy access to allow filters to be changed quickly. Visible filter allocation numbers allow easy identification of filter positions, and a wide range of adapters for both illuminators and microscopes are available. In addition, Prior’s shutters can be…
