Internal Color Filter Wheel
A five position filter wheel is available for some models of QSI 500 Series cameras. The
filter wheel is designed to hold five standard 1.25" filters. Ordinarily, the filter wheel is
supplied with an LRGB filter set as illustrated in the following image with filter positions 1-4
occupied by red, green, blue and luminance filters respectively. The filter wheel can be
supplied without filters if desired.
Note the reflection of the complementary colors
with this set of LRGB dichroic filters.
Note: QSI offers LRGB filter sets from a number of respected manufacturers, as
well as other specialized filters for astro-imaging. Alternatives can be specified at
the time of order.
The filter wheel is designed to be removed and replaced easily. After detaching the camera
cover, the filter wheel can be removed by loosening a single shoulder screw. This allows the
user to have additional filter wheels populated with different combinations of filters and
interchange them quickly while operating in the field. See the Care and Maintenance
section for details.
