Following the instructions below may not result in the resonant mirror being aligned well enough.  This alternate alignment procedure should probably be followed instead.  The alternate procedure contains a more accurate method to check the alignment of the resonant mirror, which can be used in case the procedure below has already been followed, to check if the alternate procedure is necessary.

Assembly instructions

1) Screw in schneeberger slider from underneath, make sure to use the correct 10 mm long screws so as not to damage stage

2) Add the stop screw, spring plunger, and threaded bushing (remove the lock screw) and lock nut, knob, and screw for positioning the stage.
3) Glue in the CRS resonant mirror cable using a black RTV sealant (Dow-Corning 732 multipurpose sealant), leaving 7" outside of the chamber. Let the glue cure overnight. Alternatively the cable can be glued after the resonant mirror is mounted since the short cable is hard to manage inside the chamber.
4) (See below.  Usage of the alignment jig in this way may not be necessary.) Create the alignment jig for the resonant mirror by UV curing a mirror to the resonant mirror alignment jig with norland 81. The mirror should be centered on the top of the alignment jig. This mirror will serve as a reference point for the orientation of the resonant mirror.

8) After mounting the mirror make sure to get all of the dust out of the chamber and seal it up with an O-ring and lid. There is no need to screw the lid down now, as it will need to be removed when the chamber is mounted to the vertical breadboard.
