2. It is recommended that after removal of the protective cover, the camera is fitted to the chamber and evacuated
immediately. The cover prevents accidental intrusion around the CCD installation and seals the sensor in a dry
gas environment to minimize oxidation.
3. The camera can be fitted with an optional filter insert holder (Andor item:
FLG-SO-SY-CONVERT-45)
. An insert
such as a beryllium foil (Andor Item
ACC-OPT-02839)
can be fitted here in front of the detector. The holder will
accept an insert of Ø 45.5 mm up to 1.0 mm thick.
4. To load an insert, grip the holder by hand across the flats and turn until the reference spot on the holder aligns
with the reference spot on the flange, i.e.:
5. The holder can now be withdrawn from the flange.
6. Remove the 5 off M3 x 6 countersunk screws and lift off the upper plate of the filter holder.
7. Set the insert into the recess in the lower plate. Orientate the upper and lower plates; there is only one position
where the flats and the 5 holes all align. Fasten together with the 5 off M3 x 6 countersunk screws.
8. Re-engage filter holder in bayonet recess in SO flange and turn to achieve retention.
