1. Make sure that the ATR objective is connected to the microscope. (For information
about how to connect the ATR objective to the microscope, see section 4.12.3.
2. Make sure that the beam path is not blocked, for example by a polarizer or a knife-
edge aperture (i.e. the knife-edge aperture has to be open completely).
3. Move the microscope stage downwards.
4. Swing the ATR objective in the beam path.
5. ATR objective: Set the ATR crystal in the measurement mode position (i.e. lower
position), if not yet done. (See section 4.12.4.)
6. ATR objective: Set contact pressure level 1. (See section 4.12.5.)
