===== Scheduling =====
Please schedule your Raman usage.  This allows you to reserve a spot, and also allows us to track the usage.  The calendar below lets you look at the schedule, but you have to be listed on the calendar to sign up.  See James H or Janet for permission.

===== Pointers (8/2014) =====
1) Please be gentle with the switch to change between the 532 and 785 lasers, moving it carefully and slowly.Carelessly throwing the switch back and forth causes the mirrors to become misaligned and lower the quality of your data.

2) Don't mess with the AC. Thermal expansion can also be a cause for alignment issues(again, bad data).

3) Please note changes in the laser power if you use the fine tune knob on the 532nm laser. 

4) Please save all data in your folder and not just on the desktop. All files on the desktop will periodically be placed in a "Desktop junk" folder
