Chris,

We are also using the Uniblitz shutter (VS35S) from Vincent associates. They
sell the appropriate microscope adapters with the shutter and offer certain
modifications to the shutter to withstand the heat radiation of the arc
lamp. Expect to pay about $1500 rather than <$500.

Good luck,

Chris;

Try Vincent and Company.  I think they are in New York State or
Pennsylvania.  They make a full line of shutters for almost any
microscope.
