Emission Beam Path

Note: The photos in this section were taken of a fully constructed CubEd. Add each optical component sequentially, checking the beam path after each addition.

  1. Let the beam pass through the filter cube and onto a vertical mirror. Adjust the mirror angle via its set screws to maintain a parallel beam path, directing the path forward.

  1. Place a f200 lens in front of the beam. Center the lens using the set screws.

  2. Confirm the alignment of the beam path as before.

Tip: Use the same alignment procedure as that used in the beam collimation.

  1. Place the camera so the camera sensor is 200 mm from the f200 lens.

Tip: Use the same paper method as that used in the beam collimation step 3 to ensure that the beam path stays straight.
