Optec IFW 2” Intelligent Filter Selector System

The IFW 2 is Optec’s first High Speed Filter Wheel that supports serial control protocols. Offering both a USB CDC Serial Port and a hardware RS232 Serial Port the IFW 2 can act as a drop in replacement for the IFW.

With a homing time of 2 seconds and .8 seconds to switch to an adjacent filter the IFW 2 can sustain fast imaging cadences. An optional hand controller allows for local access, just like the original IFW. Available interchangeable wheels include 5 position 55mm / 2 inch, 8 position 25 mm and 7 position 36mm. An optional external Hand Controller is available for manual control.
