Apogee 1'' Round Filter Wheel for Ascent Series CCD Cameras

AI-AFW25-4R Apogee 1" Round Filter Wheel for Ascent Series CCD Cameras.

The AI-AFW25-4R filter wheel provides a fast compact filtering solution for many of the Ascent series of imaging systems. The wheel plugs directly into the front of the Ascent camera, using the integrated Ascent Peripheral Interface for power and control. A 2-inch slip fit adapter is available for mounting on telescopes. Coupled with the optional Nikon F-mount lens adapter, the camera and filter wheel can be easily mounted to any F-mount lens, or to any microscope with an Nikon F-mount camera adapter.

The AI-AFW25-4R filter wheel was specifially designed as an entry level visual RGB or CMY wheel for astronomy, and with faster transition time between filters for faster image acquisition and for microscopy applications. The AI-AFW25-4R filter wheel is not compatible with the larger Ascent systems, such as the A9, A8300, A105, A11000, and A16000. For those requiring larger filters or photometric filter applications, the Optec IFW or Apogee FW50 filter wheels are recommended. For photometric applications with smaller Ascent CCDs (less then 27mm diag), the AI-AFW30-7R Series filter wheel is recommended. For photometric applications with larger Ascent CCDs (more then 27mm diag), the AI-AFW50-5R Series filter wheel is recommended.
