The Lambda 10-3 controls up to 3 filter wheels. The user can select between one of seven speeds, allowing the speed to be adjusted in accordance with the load of the wheel. The Lambda 10-3 can operate up to 40msec switching time speed at speed 1 with the traditional 25mm filter wheel as well as our newer, high-speed 32mm version. If additional speed of movement is desired we manufacture a special three position wheel which achieves switching times of less than 33 msec at speed 0.. Except for the 4-position compact wheel, our filter wheels employ a direct drive system consequently there is no belt slippage or backlash.

In addition the Lambda 10-3 controller supports both the traditional Uniblitz shutter as well as our new SmartShutter line. Our SmartShutter is designed to mount on our filter wheels much like the current shutter is mounted so there should be no mounting constraints. In addition we support control of a standalone SmartShutter from the controller, making it possible to control an external SmartShutter wherever an additional shutter is required

Lambda 10-2

可程式濾鏡轉盤, 內建快門. 雙頻道控制器可同時控制 2 組濾鏡轉盤. 55 msec 濾鏡切換速率. ( 最高可裝置 12 個濾鏡, 有 25 mm , 32 mm, 50 mm 口徑濾鏡可供選用 ). 可安裝於 Excitation Port 或 Detection Port ( Emission port )

Eight user selectable speeds are provided. Filter to adjacent filter time can be set from 55 to 1200msec, depending on the number and the weight of the filters mounted in the wheel. Integral shutter drivers will open the optional shutter in 10msec.

The use of a direct drive stepper-motor with advanced microstepping technology and intelligent acceleration and deceleration algorithms assures the fastest possible moves for a given inertial load, while minimizing vibrations. The controller also has an error detection and correction circuit in the event that a position error occurs.

The Lambda 10-2 consists of a 10-position filter wheel, a rack mountable controller, a support base and mounting rods, a controller/filter wheel interface cable, parallel and serial interface cables, two drop-in filter holders, spanner wrench, and manual. Microscope adapters for most Nikon, Olympus, Zeiss, and Leica scopes can be purchased separately.
　

Lambda 10-B 可程式濾鏡轉盤, 內建快門. 雙頻道控制器可控制 1 組濾鏡轉盤. 40 msec 濾鏡切換速率 ( 當控制 10 個濾鏡轉盤 ). 31 msec 濾鏡切換速率 ( 當控制 3 個濾鏡轉盤 ).( 最高可裝置 10 個濾鏡, 有 25 mm , 32 mm, 50 mm 口徑濾鏡可供選用 ). 可安裝於 Excitation Port 或 Detection Port ( Emission port ), 內建 USB Interface 及 Serial port.
　

The Lambda 10-B can operate with switching times as brief as 40msec with our standard 25mm filter wheel as well as our 32mm wheel. The user can select from seven speeds, allowing the speed to be adjusted in accordance with the load of the wheel. Except for the 4 position compact wheel, our filter wheels employ a direct drive system: a feature that prevents belt slippage or backlash. An optional shutter installation is also available.

　

The SmartShutter incorporates a new high-performance motor drive and precision stepper-motor to provide added control and durability. Traditional shutters use a solenoid actuator requiring a high initial opening voltage for rapid opening of the shutter. This can overheat or burn out the coil of the shutter if the shutter is opened too frequently. With our microprocessor controlled motor/wiper design, we can control the trajectory of each move and optimize the motion of the blade for speed or for smoothness.

The SmartShutter, in either the 25mm or 35mm version, operates with open/close times of 8msec from the command (3msec from the start of motion). Since our robust design does not rely on over-driving the windings, we can achieve continuous operation at frequencies up to 40 Hz for the 25mm version, and 20 Hz for the 35mm model. While the 25mm SmartShutter can run at frequencies up to 40 Hz, at some frequencies between 30 and 40 Hz, resonances may be excited which will prevent stable operation. Because the shutter blade is stopped by the action of the motor rather than mechanical stops, SmartShutter units tested for over 10 million cycles show no sign of failure.
