Silver Gate™ Evolution ATR System

3.  Maximize the energy by adjusting the rotation and tilt movement 

screws (

8

) and (

9

) respectively of mirror 

M1

. (See Figure 6.) 

 
4.  Repeat the rotation and tilt adjustments as in steps 2 – 4 until 

maximum transmission is achieved and then replace the front 
cover plate (

6

) and tighten the cover plate thumb screws (

7

). 

 

5. 

If the Benchmark™ baseplate is mounted on a rail or is movable in 
the spectrometer, move the Silver Gate™ ATR Accessory on the 
Benchmark™ baseplate to find the best position where the 
transmission is at a maximum. Now firmly secure the Benchmark™ 
baseplate in this position. 

 

 

Note: 

 In some spectrometers it may be necessary to remove the  

           Silver Gate™ optical unit before securing the baseplate. Where  
           this is the case, ensure that the Benchmark™ baseplate does  
           not move when removing the Silver Gate™ optical unit.
