Beam Alignment on the Cuvette Center Mount Sample Holder

Before using a center mount sample holder, you will need to realign the transfer optics in the
accessory.

NOTE:

Check the beam alignment each time the Cuvette Center Mount Sample Holder is used to

ensure accurate measurements.

1. Place an empty cuvette into the holder.

2. Load the cuvette and cuvette holder into the center mount port. Position the align-

ment pins on the center mount device to match the holes in the sphere.

3. Realign the transfer optics using the procedure under Aligning the Accessory Optics,

this time shifting mirror M3 to the "C" position. When aligning M3, look into the
sphere, using the translucent paper, and ensure that the beam strikes the cuvette, that
the beam is centered, and that the beam does not overfill the cuvette.

CAUTION

:Be careful inserting and removing the cuvette center mount sample holder from the inte-

grating sphere. Rough use may damage the interior of the sphere. Avoid spilling liquids. Liquids
such as sample solutions may damage the integrating sphere, the detectors, and other apparatus.
