6. Wipe X Galvo Mirror

Prepare a new swab. It is 

important 

to use a fresh swab so as not to spread 

any particles or residues that had been caught by the previous swab.

Carefully position the galvo block as shown. Use the swab to gently rotate the 

mirror so that the surface is more easily accessible. Gently wipe the mirror 

from the base of the mirror to the end of the mirror. Rotate the swab and 

wipe again.

.

Once the mirrors are clean, the galvo block can be reinstalled into the Form 

1+. Use a bright light or flashlight to illuminate the mirrors.
