8. In the Wavelength File area, check the delta values (see
a. If the delta values are not within the range of ±1 nm, repeat the wavelength
calibration procedure for verification.
b. If, after applying a new calibration, the delta values are still not within the range of
±1 nm, call your Thermo Fisher Scientific service representative for assistance.
