====== Cleaning 2D-C Prisms ====== -Unscrew the end caps. -Use allen wrench to unscrew the prisms from the probe arms. *{{:atmos:citation:instruments:2dc:two_dc_screw.jpg?500|}} -Slide heater and prism assembly out of probe arms. *{{:atmos:citation:instruments:2dc:two_dc_prisms.jpg?500|}} *In the right-hand probe arm, the holes for the hex screw can be seen in both the prism assembly and the probe arm. -Clean the prisms with isopropyl alcohol. -Insert the heater and prism assembly back into probe arms. -Make sure the set screw is set correctly. -Screw the end caps back on. -Clean the prism above the image diodes inside the 2D-C with isopropyl alcohol. *{{:atmos:citation:instruments:2dc:two_dc_inprism.jpg?500|}} *The prism can just be seen under the crossbar in this picture above the image diodes. -When done cleaning prisms, verify that the end element voltages for both end are over 2V by attaching a voltmeter as demonstrated in the picture below. Make sure that on one side of the probe, the dial is set to 1 and for the other the dial is set to 32. *{{:atmos:citation:instruments:2dc:two_dc_endelements.jpg?500|}}
