3.5.3 Perform Alignment
The initial alignment described in this section assumes that you have already connected and
turned on the detector and spectrograph, have opened WinSpec, and identified the detector and
spectrograph. After you have aligned the optics the first time, you may want to repeat the process
to fine tune the alignment.
1. Mount a light source such as a Princeton Instruments Hg and Ne/Ar Dual Switchable
light source in front of the entrance slit.
2. From the Main menu bar, open the Spectrograph menu, select Move, choose the grating
to be move, and then set it to 500 nm if using a mercury lamp or to 0.0 nm if using a
broadband source.
