5.5 Focus the Spectrometer

The basic actions for focusing the spectrometer are listed below. This general procedure
assumes that you have already mounted the array detector to the exit port of the
spectrograph and that there is a light source at the entrance port. Refer to Chapter 3 of this
manual for detailed LightField and WinSpec instructions for performing this function. For
other application software, refer to that software's manual or help file.
