[RASMB] Optics check

[mitrana at mail.utexas.edu]

Hi all
I did a intensity versus wavelength scan at three radial positions - 5.8, 6.5,
and 7.2 cm. At 6.5 cm, it was as I expected with a 230 nm peak (I ~ 10000
units) and half that at 527 nm. However, at 5.8 cm, the 230 peak was almost
zilch and only the 527 prominent. And at 7.2 cm, 230 peak had an intensity of ~
13000 units and 527 half that. However, the sample and reference did not
overlay. The sample intensity was virtually zero.

I am a little lost right now as to what is going on. Are there anymore tests I
can run to identify the exact problem?
