SECTION 4 ADJUSTMENT
4.1 OPTICAL ALIGNMENT

4.1.1 Required Tools

- Hex wrench (1.5 mm and 2.5 mm)
- Screw Driver (Philips and slot headed)
- Laser power meter
- Latex particles (LATEX particles 4207A (10ML/VIAL) and LATEX PS-FLUO RED-2.5) [AA]
- Oscilloscope

4.1.2 Optical Alignment Outline

When replacing Laser Diode
Follow from below step 1
When replacing
Flow Cell Follow from below step 2
(1) Adjust the angle of the LD unit so that incident and reflect beam are aligned using a compact mirror
after removing Flow Cell and FSC Detector unit.
(4.1.8 Adjusting Laser Diode Angle (when replacing Laser Diode)
(2) Install Flow Cell unit, and then adjust the angle of Flow Cell so that incident and reflect beam are
aligned. (4.1.9 Installing Flow Cell Unit No.11 and 4.1.10 Adjusting Flow Cell Unit No.11 Angle)
(3) Adjust the initial position of the LD unit.
(4.1.12 Confirmation/Adjustment of Laser Diode Initial Position)
1) Z-direction rough adjustment by aligning the corner of the laser diode cylinder and laser diode
base.
2) X-direction rough adjustment by aligning optical base slotted portion and LD base.

(4) Adjust LD unit X-direction roughly so that laser beam can position at the center of the Flow Cell
image behind the FSC Detector location (now unit removed).
(4.1.13 Adjusting Laser Diode Position)
(5) Install FSC Detector at the specified position from the Flow Cell.
(4.1.14 Installing Photo Detector No.30)
(6) Adjust X and Y direction of the LD unit so that laser beam can be positioned at the center of the
beam stopper on the FSC Detector.
(4.1.15 Adjusting Beam Stopper Position)

[AA] 316E003

XS Series S/M 4-1 June 2016

(7) Adjust the initial position of the SFL Detector (X,Y and Z direction).
(4.1.16 Confirmation/Adjustment of Photo Detector No. 28 (1)) In case of Flow Cell replacement
only (no LD unit replacement), skip this step.
(8) Check FSC signal using an oscilloscope. (4.1.19 Optical Alignment (Rough)) Adjust X and Z-direc-
tion of LD unit so that FSC signal width will become narrower than specified limit. Adjust X-direction
of FSC Detector so that FSC signal is lowest.
(9) Adjust following units by observing SFL signal using an oscilloscope. Verify the results in Fine
mode menu, and then fix the units. (4.1.20 Optical Alignment (fine))
- Z-direction of SFL Detector: to make signal width narrower
- X-direction of SFL Detector: to make uniform signal
- X-direction of SFL Detector: to make higher signal
- Y and Z-direction of SFL Detector: to make uniform signal

Cautions)
In case LD unit or Flow Cell angle adjustment is not well done, uniform signal will be seen for a
short time only (unstable). If it is difficult to get SFL signal, check if Flow Cell image at the slit of the
SSC Detector is clear and sharp when shining a flash light toward flow cell. If NOT, adjust SFL
Lens X-direction to get sharp and clear image on the slit.

(10) Verify the results in Fine mode menu, and then fix the units. (4.1.20 Optical Alignment (fine))
(11) Adjust the SSC Detector left or right so that Flow Cell image can be aligned at the slit of SSC
Detector. (Step (9) in 4.1.20 Optical Alignment (fine))
(12) Adjust X-direction of the FSC Detector so that FSC signal becomes the lowest. (This means direct
laser beam is interrupted at the beam stopper.) And then, fix the FSC Detector.
(Step (14) in 4.1.20 Optical Alignment (fine))

Caution)
Adjustment for FSC(W) data is not required as long as FSC(W) data is within the specified limit.

materials after a time. (Use the latex materials within an hour after making for confir-
mation of Optical Alignment (fine))
Since the fluorescence intensity becomes weak when PS-FLUO RED-2.5 (latex for

TP1: Ground for LD drive
TP2: Power output for LD Shows proportional voltage for LD power between TP2 and TP1. Proportional
factor varies to laser diodes.
TP3: LD current monitor Shows following voltage.Voltage between TP3 and TP1=25 X LD current
(example: 2.5 V when LD current at 100mA)
