Microscope Adapters
Lambda Filter wheels
Excitation adapters (suffix EC) include all components necessary for mounting our filter wheels between the microscope lamp housing and excitation port.
Please select adapters with a prefix of 10 for wheels with 25 mm apertures, and a prefix of 32 for wheels with a 32 mm aperture.
Lambda DG-4/DG-5 PLUS
The Lambda DG-4/DG-5 PLUS will only require a light guide adapter (prefix LG).
Lambda LS and Lambda HPX-L5
It is recommended that the Lambda LS be used with the optional LLG (Liquid Light Guide) and a light guide adapter (prefix LG).
Large Format Light Guide Adapter
The large format light guide adapter (suffix LF) is necessary when a demagnification lens is present in the emission path to eliminate vignetting in the camera. This adapter is also recommended for those customers wishing to eliminate vignetting in the eyepiece.
Lambda VF-5™ / VF-1™ / VF-10 / VF-1™ Edge
Please phone Sutter to discuss your microscope and/or mounting requirements.
SmartShutter®
The SmartShutter® can be mounted on the microscope excitation and transmitted light ports using our standard adapters.
For easy reference:IQ25 Excitation – use adapters that begin with 10IQ35 Excitation – use adapters that begin with 32IQ25 & IQ35 Transmitted light – use adapters ending with TL
Optical Decks
Optical deck platforms are used to access the infinity space of the Olympus IX3 microscope and provide a mounting surface for optical and other elements. The Sutter 32 mm filterwheel (part# LB10-W32-Y73) can be mounted directly onto the deck.
OEM Production
Customization of our optical product line for unique applications has become a specialty for Sutter Instrument. Our production facilities include in-house electronic design, circuit board layout, embedded systems programming, and state-of-the-art CNC machining and turning centers for volume production of precision mechanical components. This expertise gives Sutter the ability to provide timely, cost-effective engineering and manufacturing solutions for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).
The proven performance and reliability of our optical filter wheel systems has made them a desirable choice for a range of OEM applications. Examples of custom designs include 5 position and 10 position wheels with 2 inch filters, 12 position arrays, compact belt-driven filterwheels, cryogenic and high vacuum filterwheels, rotating polarizers, an RS-485 serial bus allowing 16 controllers to share a single serial port on a host computer, and mounting adapters for a wide range of microscopes. Sutter currently has several significant OEM contracts and will continue to establish new OEM relationships.
