If you are using the 105 mm camera lens, you will need to be sure that
the extension ring has been attached to the etalon/collimator section
of the Fabry-Perot tube. This ring adds approximately an inch to the
distance between the etalon and the camera lens. If this ring is not
installed, there will be insufficient room in the Fabry-Perot tube for
both the wedged etalon and the camera lens. The ring must be oriented
properly. One of the two small holes on the outside of the ring
should be centered over the rectangular slot through which the camera
focus ring arm will protrude. The extension should be flipped to
place this small hole beside the slot. (The hole is intended for a
guide screw on the focus arm plate.) Then note that the camera lens
plate has a small guide pin. This pin must be placed in the
corresponding guide hole in the extension ring, such that the camera
focus arm will then fit through the slot between the extension ring
and the etalon/collimator section. It will take some thought to
ensure that everything is oriented correctly. The extension ring
should be secured with six screws of sufficient length to reach
through the entire thickness of the ring.
