Fig. 1-11. Optical tube
Diagram of the optical tube is shown in Fig. 1-12. For measurements, the sample surface
is located in the focal plane of the lens 1. The reflecting prism 2 redirects the laser beam
to the objective for delivering radiation to the tube or to the laser beam delivery system
for collecting the transmitted radiation.

Positioning device
The positioning device (Fig. 1-13) is a mount of the optical tube. It can move the tube in
three coordinates to position the tube so that the sample surface is in the focus of the lens.
