Changing Filters in the LSM 7
LIVE
Scanning Module
For optimum investigation of specimens it is useful to employ filter wheels permitting the motor-
controlled change between different filters for narrow-band or broad-band detection depending on the
wavelength. The number of filters is limited by the capacity of the filter wheel. The change of the filter
wheel as a whole involves complete readjustment.
The filter can be exchanged as a whole. Please ask your local LSM specialist to do this exchange in order
to maintain your warranty.
