Polymer film
Polymer film is available from laboratory suppliers or
specialist mail order companies.
Using polymer film is a gentle method of cleaning
extremely sensitive devices, such as reference reflectors
and mirrors.
Infrared Sensor Card
Infrared sensor cards are available from laboratory
suppliers or specialist mail order companies.
With this card you are able to control the shape of laser
light emitted. The invisible laser beam is projected onto
the sensor card, then becomes visible to the normal eye as
a round spot.
Take care never to look into the end of a fiber or any other
optical component, when they are in use. This is because
the laser can seriously damage your eyes.

Listed below are some hints on how best to keep your
