The grating separates the light beam into all its component wavelengths and reflects the light onto mirror #2.
The stepper motor reference position is determined by a plate fitted onto the motor shaft, interrupting the beam of a photo sensor. The wavelength calibration of the grating is done at the zero order light position and at 656 nm, which is the emission line of the deuterium lamp.
