Appendix C: Maintenance and Storage
•
The Zeeman Effect Apparatus should be used in a dry clean room with good ventilation.
•
Lubricate the surface of the optical track periodically to prevent it from rusting.
•
When not in use, the Fabry-Perot interferometer should be stored in a sealed container with a desiccator (drying agent).
Replace the desiccator periodically to prevent mold formation.
•
Do not touch any optical part with your fingers. To remove dust or dirt, use a photographic lens brush, or blow the dust off
with “canned air”. Do not use compressed air from an air line as this frequently contains oil droplets, which will contami-
nate the surface of the optical parts.
•
Stubborn dirt may be removed by gently cleaning the surface with a cotton ball soaked in a 1:1 mixture of denatured alco-
hol and ether.
•
To prolong the life of the mercury lamp, avoid turning it on and off frequently.
•
When applying the magnetic field, increase the current slowly and avoid using a maximum current for long periods. This
will avoid excessive heat generation in the electromagnet coils.
