3. If you have purchased the LIBS Imaging Module, attach it to the sample chamber. To do this,

you must take the cover off the imaging module and attach the base plate to the top of the
sample chamber with three bolts. The replace the imaging module cover.

4. Install the LIBS laser as follows:

Big Sky Laser -- Mount the laser head on top of the LIBS Imaging Module (if
purchased), or directly on top of the sample chamber if you do not have an imaging
module:

If you are using a 50 mJ laser, a mounting bracket is attached to the laser head
with steel rods to facilitate mounting and laser alignment into the sample
chamber.

If you are using a 200 mJ laser, fasten the laser’s mounting plate to the top of the
imaging module (or the sample chamber if you do not have an imaging module),
then attach the laser to the mounting plate.

Crossfire Laser – Place it on a stable, flat surface separately from the sample chamber
and imaging module.
