Application context
Application guidance is derived from the product family and tied to the model-specific selection fields above.
Mate metric and imperial hardware, and parts from vendors that were never designed to meet.
Targets and irises give a repeatable datum to align the rest of the path against.
Verify beam height, centration and pointing without disturbing what is already set.
Before you specify
Engineering context for choosing this class of component, with the tradeoffs worked through on real specifications.
Opto-mechanicsVibration, thermal drift and mechanical integration are one problem. Budget the motion at the sample, then specify the table, the isolation, the mounts and the beam height that budget asks for.
