6.3.1. Inserting / removing a filter
Filters are fragile elements.
 Take the greatest care at the time of their handling. Pay attention
not to touch a filter’s surface with uncovered fingers – optical
quality would be degraded by any grease or contaminant deposited
on the surface.
 Inserting or removing an IR filter requires a proper clean
environment (e.g. clean room).
 Use finger cots or gloves for any operation involving a filter.
 An IR filter has different coatings on each side (usually a metallic
reflective layer and a colored or opaque layer): the metallic layer
side needs to be placed towards the radiation source.
The following steps indicate how to remove or insert one or two filter on a
wheel slot:
1. Remove carefully the optical lens from the camera,
2. Remove carefully the lens interface as mentioned in § 6.2 and place it
on a flat clean table as shown below
