Fitting and Removing the Optical Bench
In the first instance, the General Purpose Optical Bench is installed by a PerkinElmer Service
Engineer, who will install: a right-hand beam moveable mirror and any other internal parts
required; a KBr window; and an external accessory bracket in the handhold on the right of the
instrument (if not already fitted). This external accessory bracket should not be removed.
