Filters

Provision is made for installing filters inside the camera barrel. There are spaces for 15 filters in the filter server mechanism. There is a motor/gear train and motion stage for positioning filters. Filter exchange takes a maximum of 30 seconds. Filters are required to reposition after exchange to 25 microns (0.001'') (goal: 10 microns).
