The LEP electronic shutter is available as a separate component or
integrated with most of the filter wheels. Designed for high reliability
without sacrificing speed, the shutter is unaffected by the high heat from
intense illumination sources. The single moving part in the shutter is rated
to 50 million cycles.
A separate shutter-only controller is also available. This controller is
capable of driving up to 4 shutters. Digital inputs and outputs are provided
and can be setup by software command to synchronize the shutter with
cameras and other acquisition devices via USB and RS-232 interface.
