Since surface profiles of reference mirrors used in precision systems, such as a bar mirror of an X-Y stage controlled by a laser interferometer, may be distorted during installation on the systems, they need to be evaluated through on-site measurement.
It also may be noted that installation of an air curtain device reduced dramatically final consumptions (at most 37%%), showing that this measure was extremely interesting to reduce energy bills, especially when many accesses are made to the chamber (as was the case of experiment A).
