Abstract:

A system (S) for mounting and aligning a detector (D) about an observation instrument ( ) includes a first detector ( ) movably coupled to the observation instrument ( ) off an axis of observation centerline ( ) for the observation instrument ( ). A retainer ( ) is mounted with the observation instrument ( ) to secure the first detector ( ) to the observation instrument ( ). The retainer ( ) permits rotatable movement of the first detector ( ) about the axis of observation centerline ( ). The retainer ( ) also preferably includes an attachment point ( ) for mounting the first detector ( ) to the retainer ( ). The first detector ( ) should be adjustable at least about an axis ( ) essentially perpendicular to the axis of the observation centerline ( ) for the observation instrument ( ).
