3 Under Instrument Parameters, set the wavelength to 0 nm (white light) by
selecting Zero Order.
4 Click Apply. The green power indicator on the instrument should start flashing
to indicate that the instrument is active.
5 Place a cell in the Microcell Holder (if you have not already done so).
6 Place a small piece of white paper in the light path to the right of the cell. If the
beam appears as though it will strike the cell aperture, move the paper to the
left of the cell and check that the beam is passing through the cell. (If the
beam does not appear as though it will pass through the cell, adjust the height
of the cell as described in the 'Installation' section on Page 24.)
7 Using the hexagonal ball driver (2.5 mm), adjust the Microcell Holder
adjustment screw (item 5 in picture above) and note the intensity of the light
striking the paper. Continue to adjust the adjustment screw until the beam
hitting the paper appears the most intense.
NOTE You may need to dim the room lights to see the light beam.
