3. Affix the reflection probe in the fiber holder.
4. Adjust height of the fiber holder.
5. Place your sample on the sample holder or on the base plate.
6. Start acquisition.
7. Readjust height of the fiber holder / reflection probe until you get the maximum signal.
8. Start your measurements.
Upside Down Reflection Set-up
Setting up the reflection measurement upside down has the advantage that the distance between the fiber
and the surface is constant; sample probe thickness is no longer an issue. Use the Stage-RTL-T to
measure reflection and reflection of a transparent sample.

Upside Down Reflection Measurement Set-up Procedure
► Procedure
1. Affix the reflection probe in the fiber holder.
2. Adjust height of the fiber holder so that the fiber bend radius is large enough.
3. Attach the sample holder to the rail above the fiber holder.
4. Place your sample upside down on the sample holder.
5. Start acquisition.
6. Readjust height of the reflection probe until you get the maximum signal. Make sure that the
reflection probe does not touch the sample.
7. Start your measurements.
