6 feet of 16-cond. cable, using 8 wires for 4 piezos (2 x-y pairs), and 8 unassigned. Conductors 1-4 go to trapA wiggler on CCD side. Conductors 5-8 go to trapB wiggler.

Right-handed Newport 561-XYZ stage shown here. The left-handed version will not work in miniTweezers

Always handle stage gently. Do not drop stage onto table or it will dent the rollers. Do not apply excessive force or torque to rollers while unscrewing factory parts or adding machined parts.

Vector wirewrap terminals soldered onto Z-limit Board are here longer than allowed. They will be clipped shorter before assembly.

The vector wirewrap terminals are cut to proper length and bent to desired angle to limit motor movement in z-axis.

Red = +5 V, Black = ground, Yellow = -5 V

Must be a close sliding fit. Clean shaft and gear with alcohol to remove oil.. Apply 5-min epoxy to shaft and gear and slide together.

This is a picture of the detector with the DL-10 detector with its window removed and soldered in place.

Looking from this view one sees PSD and Iris detectors superposed due to half-silvered mirror.

Use superglue

Convex lens side faces in, flat side out. Use very little super glue and avoid getting glue on lens face. Replace lens if that happens.

Countersink holes for 2-56 flat head screws. The metal is too thin for full depth countersink. Just stop when you start to enlarge the clearance hole out the other side. The thicker Prism Box Lid will accept a full depth countersink. The remaining depth is tapped 2-56 so you can screw in a flat-headed screw pointing out ofn the box and the screw head will not rise above the inside surface of the box and scratch the glass prisms.

Prism_Box_Frame version 2 will have room for ND filter and 75mm lens both inside hole. Lay filter directly on pbs cube. Then lay flat side of lens directly on filter. Then screw in retainer ring.

Use heat shrink tubing to surround the connections to the temperature sensor. Order of the wires in the 8-pos connector are as follows. Starting from the first position which is marked with a triangle on the connector, the top row is: blue, black, green, and bare wires. The second row is: brown, white, and red wires.

Note that the Light-Lever-Standoff-Spacer is asymmetric and that it is installed so the 5/16" hole for the periscope is closer to the Prism Box than to the Optical Rail. This section will be covered with tape to protect the optics from dirt and splashed buffer.
