Tagger MicroscopeThe two magnets bend the electrons. Different energy levels correspond to different bend angles.Use this to “tag” photons with an initial energy.

Calibration Device
Cart slides above tagger and extends an “arm” down to flash a light pulse at the fibers
Need a calibration device to test fibers before experiment!
