Chapter 3: Grating Turrets
This chapter provides information about the installation and removal of grating turrets on an
IsoPlane spectrograph.
3.1 Turret Installation
If you have just received an IsoPlane spectrograph, you will need to install the grating
turret. The grating turret has been shipped in the same shipping box with the IsoPlane but is
packaged in a plastic container outside the IsoPlane housing to protect the gratings during
shipment.
