Hi All
I’m looking for a simple filter wheel that can be used in a rig for imaging expression of fluorescent proteins. So far I found the following which is a front-runner but it is quite large…it is parametric inc number of positions, so probably we can make it more compact:
Parametric Automated Filter Wheel Changer (8 filters)
Zhang C, Anzalone NC, Faria RP, Pearce JM (2013) Open-Source 3D-Printable Optics Equipment. PLoS ONE 8(3): e59840.
There are also quite a few options on thingiverse, many from the astronomy community and a filter selector from RamanPi (that one is quite far from what we need but the wheel part could be redesigned):
Before we get started buying things, just checking if GOSHers have a preferred design that has worked nicely for them? Ideally parametric but if fixed, we want to use 25mm dia filters.
Grateful for any advice!
Jenny
