SLR lens adapter

SLR lens adapters are available for the following lens mounts:

 Canon EF (EOS)

 Nikon F

The SLR lens adapter provides the correct focal distance for

specified lenses when threaded to the standard T-mount adapter on

full-size ―ws‖ model cameras. Standard extension tubes or T-mount

extenders should be used to achieve the correct focal distance with

slim or mid-size bodies. Mid-size bodies will require a 0.5‖ extension

tube. Slim bodies require a 0.825‖ extension tube.

Liquid heat exchanger

The liquid heat exchanger (LHX) provides additional cooling of the

CCD beyond what can be achieved using the standard air cooling.

The liquid heat exchanger attaches to the back of the QSI 500

Series camera using four screws. Refer to the camera

specifications to determine the temperature differential that can

typically be maintained when using the LHX.

Recirculating pump

The recirculating pump is used to pump water through the liquid heat exchanger.

Color filter wheel

Cameras with an internal color filter wheel include one filter wheel

and an optional set of LRGB filters. Additional 5 or 8-position color

filter wheels can be ordered to hold 1.25‖ or unmounted 31mm

filters. With additional color filter wheels you can load a second set

of filters, such as narrowband filters or photometric filters, and easily

replace the entire filter wheel. See the Care & Maintenance section

below for instructions on removing and installing the color filter

wheel.
