To do this, look at the &#8220;bottom&#8221; (not the underside) of the light source end of the spectrometer and find the 2 holes in which the set screws are deeply recessed (about 6cm, or ~2.5 in.). One hole is to the right of the fan. Use a flat head screwdriver to loosen the two set screws &#8211; they don&#8217;t come all the way out.<br \/>\n2) After you have separated the 2 pieces of the spectrometer, remove the lens from the detector aperture. The lens is a charcoal grayish piece that is threaded onto the detector. Put this lens in a safe place &#8211; it is more expensive than it looks.<br \/>\n3) Poke one end of the fiber optic cable into the aperture housing and screw it into place.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: The attached document contains photos, for your reference.<\/p>\n<p>This works for all the Ocean Optics spectrometers we sell, including the Red Tide VIS-NIR, Red Tide UV-VIS, and the V-SPEC.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1) Separate the light source\/cuvette holder from the detector.
