5. Be forewarned.
You will be getting a lot of information but there is a lot of information that you need.
It may seem overwhelming but you will have the material to take home with you for your future review.
We will be trying to give you opportunity for both classroom and hands-on learning.

7. Almega XR Micro/Macro configuration.

8. Almega XR with no macro.

9. Almega class IIIB XR Configuration

10. Almega XR-Si system.

11. Almega class IIIB XR-Si system without panels.

12. Explain the system & beam path.
Make copies of the next four slides and present them on an overhead projector so that the beam path can be shown in different colors.

17. Service align tool.
The service align tool is used as a visual light beam to align the optical path of the microscope and spectrometer.
Used during the initial installation.
Used for paper alignment.

18. Service align tools. XR-Si Service align tool.
Uses the service align laser shown on left.
XR Service align laser

19. How alignment of system is accomplished.
Service align tool.
Service align laser.
Raman laser.
Post-it notes. (Any reflective paper)

20. Tools used to help align the system.
Macro customer align tool.
1st tool to be aligned to.
Rim assembly mirror is adjusted so the service laser hit the pinhole.
Align tool is stored inside optical vertical casting.

21. Placed here.

22. Tools used to help align the system.
Spectrograph customer align tool.
2nd tool to be aligned to.
Macro/micro mirror assembly is adjusted so the service laser hit the pinhole.
Align tool is stored inside optical vertical casting.

23. Placed here.

27. Customer align tool.
This tool provides the system with light to align the internal optics. This tool is used to fine tune the fine adjust assemblies.

28. Customer align tool second edition with fiber optic cable to pass red LED.

29. Third/final edition of customer align tool
Third/final edition of customer align tool Fiber optics cable is wound internally. No feeding plate through the stage Able to use on the XR-Si stage.

30. Customer align tool is placed on stage as would a sample slide.

31. Almega Si system Large 200 or 300 mm wafer stage.
Motorized noise piece for changing the objective size. (Standard)
Window allows viewing during placement of wafer.
Rail mount system.
Same rugged Rim tube.

32. Si removal of cover to remove nose piece.

33. Inserting a wafer on the Si stage.

34. Almega XR-Si system.
