Align the Spectrometer Optics

Thermo Scientific
Align your spectrometer's optics if a qualification workflow, such as the Nicolet FTIR - PV
test, indicates a failing test. Aligning the spectrometer optimizes the energy that reaches the
detector and maximizes the detector signal. If a performance or qualification test fails, align
the spectrometer's optics, calibrate the laser frequency, and run the test again. If the test still
fails, contact your local technical support representative for help.
