Description

AB300-T A 6-position wheel that integrates with SP's popular Digikröm and meter monochromators.
Plugging directly into the Digikröm, resident software commands allow easy manipulation to filter higher-order energy.
It can also be controlled by your handheld controller. The AB300 uses 1" diameter filters.
AB301-T A stand-alone, 6-position 1" filter wheel that is stepper motor controlled via USB 2.0
and can be used with SP's 1/8 meter compact monochromators for order sorting purposes.
AB302-T A stand-alone, 5-position 2" filter wheel that is ideal for LIDAR applications.
Stepper motor controlled via USB 2.0. It can be combined with AB301-T's, AB302-T's, and AB303-T's in multiple filter wheel systems.
AB303-T A stand-alone, 12-position 1/2" filter wheel that is stepper motor controlled via USB 2.0. 
Ideal for multiple monochromatic illumination applications.
AB304-T A stand-alone, 12-position 1" filter wheel that is stepper motor controlled via USB 2.0.
Ideal for multiple monochromatic illumination applications.

When used with narrow-band interference filters, you can select up to 12 specific band-passes for monochromatic illumination. This provides maximum throughput with excellent stray light rejection.

Applications

Not only are these filter wheels ideal for use with monochromators, spectrographs, and spectrophotometers, but they can be easily integrated with microscopes, flow cytometers, fluorimeters, and fluorescence photometers. Neutral density filters will allow for photometric linearity and dynamic range studies. Modern communication multiplexing capabilities provide the capability of combining any number of these filter wheels in an integrated system.
