Microscope Filter Wheels, Turrets & Shutters<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\"coming<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our filter wheels and high-speed shutter systems suit upright, inverted and stereo microscopes on either the excitation, transmitted light, or emission ports.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are designed to provide rapid and precise control over illumination for accurate imaging in a wide range of applications including fluorescence and bright field microscopy. Our filter wheels are compatible with most microscopes available on the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

High-speed filter wheels and shutters form an essential part of automated microscopy systems, ensuring fast, efficient and high-quality imaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enabling the switching of filters during image acquisition is key for fluorescence microscopy, where different filters are needed to detect specific fluorescent markers. Prior\u2019s range of high-speed filter wheels allows users to switch between filter sets much more rapidly than a pure turret-based fluorescence system. This not only minimizes photobleaching, but also enables sufficient experimental throughput for high-volume multiplexing applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many applications require precise control over the amount of light delivered to the sample. Our high-speed shutters allow users to quickly and accurately control the exposure time, improving image quality as well as minimizing light damage to the sample. High-speed shutters can be used to capture high-speed events, such as cellular processes or dynamic events, with temporal resolutions down to microseconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a wide range of options for all major brands of microscope, including Leica, Zeiss, Olympus and Nikon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
