NOTE: The NIST intensity correction is valid in the recommended operating temperature
range 20 °C – 25 °C. If you move the instrument to an environment outside this
temperature range, that is 15 °C – 20 °C or 25 °C – 30 °C, we recommend that you
perform a NIST intensity correction at this new temperature.
Remember that if you have a fiber optic probe, you must intensity calibrate the fiber optic
probe as well as the microscope objective lenses. Ensure that the fiber optic probe has a lens
cap in place during intensity calibration of the objectives.
Summary
•
The only calibration procedure that needs to be performed on a regular basis is the
wavelength calibration verification procedure.
•
The wavelength and laser frequency calibrations should only be performed if the
instrument fails the wavelength calibration verification procedure.
The intensity calibration should only be performed on a yearly basis or if the
•
environment (temperature and / or humidity) changes significantly, or if the instrument
is moved or repaired.
