Figure 4-2. Assembling the interferometer
6 Place the interferometer assembly about 1 cm (1/2 inch) away from the
straightedge approximately 5 cm (2 inches) from the front of the laser
head as shown in Figure 4-1.
Note the direction of the arrows on the interferometer label. These arrows
indicate the direction of the laser beam as it exits the interferometer.
Make sure one arrow points to the retroreflector.
