Focus Level Settings 

 

The camera image should look similar to Figure 44. 

 

 

Camera Image when the Sample is Approached (2 µm Beads) 

 

Step 4: Camera Position 

 

Depending on the angle of the optical elements, the laser spot may not be in the 
center of the camera image. In fact, this is hardly ever the case and does NOT 
constitute bad alignment.  

 

You  can  move  the  laser  spot  closer  to  the  center  of  the  camera  image  by 
physically moving the camera. The camera’s lens tube is mounted on an SPT1 
slip plate that allows travel of ± 1 mm in each direction. Loosen the two screws at 
the top, move the slip plate with the attached lens tube/camera and fix the screws 
again.  

 

In rare cases, you may initially not see a laser spot in the camera image at all. In 
these cases, you may find it within the travel range of the SPT1. Make sure you 
have the correct plane by getting the beads in focus 

and move the SPT1’s slip 

plate to find the laser spot.
