A project log for DAV5 V3.01 Raman Spectrometer

The only thing worth doing, is the thing worth doing right!

This is a critical alignment test before I install the new 1st collimation mirror and 1200ln/mm diffraction grating, I wanted to make sure that my mirror and diffraction grating placement are in their proper aligned positions.

The results are very good, so now I can be assured that the CCD's angle will be correct as it relates to the 2nd mirror and I will get the full spectrum on the CCD.

These are the main 3 points of reference for this particular broadband spectrum (Solux lamp 4700K, 50W, 12vdc.) The Original spectrum from the Solux factory has the points of reference at 529, 701 and 1013nm. 

MIne is a little off right now because of my 1st mirror ( a special silver coated reflective flat mirror [99% reflectivity]

not bad, but not good enough. The 1st mirror will be like the 2nd mirror, 1'' convex focusing mirror with a focal length of 100mm, and a working distance of; 3.54''.
