Step #1: Hold plastic box between your fingers as indicated.
Step #2: Cut the adhesive tape on both sides with s sharp knife or razor blade.
Step #3: Put box on flat work surface.
Step #4: Remove the plastic outer cover, the cover glass is now free.
Step #5: Remove cover glass with care. The scintillator is left in its position with the powder coated surface facing "up". Warning: Do not touch the powder surface! Step #6: Put SEM mounting ring from topside over scintillator.
Step #7: Hold SEM mounting ring tight and turn all upside down. Scintillator should fall into the SEM mounting ring.
Step #8: Bring tilted mounting ring to the light pipe (so scintillator does not fall out) and slip directly onto the end of the light pipe.
