Assemble the prism pair compressor
Use norland 81 UV cure glue.
1) Glue prisms to TRT3 post with cutout. First glue the bottom prism, flush to the top surface of the post cutout, and positioned at a right angle. Put a few drops of UV cure glue on post and place prism on top. Do this inside a V-block to ensure the angles are correct. Once the bottom prism has been glued down, glue to top prism at a distance of 39.3mm (between outside faces). Then glue mirrors to prisms. Hold post in vice at correct orientation, place UV cure glue on prism and glue down mirror. Rotate post to glue second mirror.

2) Glue mirror and prism to polaris mirror mount, making sure orientation is correct. Attach this mirror mount to the top of the KB1X1 kinematic mount using a 8-32 screw and a nut.

3) Attach Glue two mirrors and prisms to polaris mount and centering plate. First attach KCP2 centering plate to polaris mount. Then glue prisms, to mount. Glue one to the mount directly, glue one to the side of the centering plate. Leave a space the approximate thickness of a washer (approximately 1 mm) between the two prisms, and a 1 mm gap between the back face of the prism and the mount. The side of the prisms are both aligned to each other.

4) Attach the TRT3 post of the top plate of the KB1X1 kinematic mount using an AE8E25E internal to external thread adapter. The length of the external thread adapter needs to be shortened by about two threads to let it fit inside the TRT3 post.

5) Attach one polaris mount to the RM1F cube. Attach this cube with the RS2M spacer to the BA2 baseplate, making sure the cube is orientated such that the corner of the polaris mount is over the center of the BA2. Attach the BA2 to the Optosigma rotation stage, sliding the BA2 so the end of the slots is flush against the screws.

4) Glue two mirrors and prisms
