Raman Spectroscopy Bundle Chapter 4: System Setup

4 System Setup

The following chapter describes how to mount the base unit, the front ends, and the FPV785M
laser. Guidance for custom-made system mounting is also provided.

4.1 Mounting RSB1(/M)

Mounting RSB1(/M) on the Breadboard
Please mount the RSB1(/M) Base Unit on the provided breadboard using the enclosed posts
and clamping forks. Position the RSB1(/M) such that there is enough space on the breadboard
to mount the front end, the light source, and any optional accessories such as polarizers or a
beam profiler.
Please use mounting holes 1 and 2 on the bottom of the RSB1(/M) for stability.

Height of Input Aperture
The input aperture of the RSB1(/M) may differ between the metric and imperial system due to
the mounting posts.
When the included posts are used, the difference in height is as follows.
RSB1/M RSB1
Height of Input Aperture above Optical Table 84.1 mm (3.31 in) 3.25 in (82.6 mm)
Mounting of a Cage System
When a cage system is mounted to the RSB1(/M) Base Unit, mounting tap 1 next to the in-
7
put aperture can not be used as it will be covered by the RSBA1 mounting adapter. In that
case, please use the two more distal mounting taps 2 and 3 .

Attention
Be aware that the mounting is less stable when using taps 2 and 3 are used. The RSB1(/M)
may fall over.
