Assembly of the base spectrometer requires some basic tooling such as spanner wrench and Allen keys, but the alignement procedure also requires a neon source. Similarly, most upgrades requires dedicated hardware such as Laser Diode (LD) and Thermo-Electric Cooling (TEC) drivers.

The following pages presents various tooling alternatives. While there is no right or wrong choice, you might want to select one or the other depending on your project specifics (requirements, budget, technical proficiency etc.).
