	DESIREE is a cryogenic electrostatic double storage ring under construction at Stockholm University. The two rings have similar circumference, 8.8 m and a common straight section for merged beam experiments. In each ring the ions are guided by two 160° cylindrical deflectors and four 10° deflectors and focused by four quadrupole doublets. In terms of ion optics alignment the quadrupoles are the most important factor for the ion beam acceptance and the goal is to align all quadrupoles with precision of 0.1 mm. DESIREE is constructed as a double walled cryostat with an inner and an outer vacuum chamber. All optical elements are mounted directly on the bottom of the inner chamber. For positioning of the ion optics, the bottom plate is prepared with a number of footprints where each footprint consists of four small machined surfaces that define the height and two alignment holes that define the lateral position.

DESIREE is a cryogenic electrostatic double storage ring under construction at Stockholm University. The two rings have similar circumference, 8.8 m and a common straight section for merged beam experiments. In each ring the ions are guided by two 160° cylindrical deflectors and four 10° deflectors and focused by four quadrupole doublets. In terms of ion optics alignment the quadrupoles are the most important factor for the ion beam acceptance and the goal is to align all quadrupoles with precision of 0.1 mm. DESIREE is constructed as a double walled cryostat with an inner and an outer vacuum chamber. All optical elements are mounted directly on the bottom of the inner chamber. For positioning of the ion optics, the bottom plate is prepared with a number of footprints where each footprint consists of four small machined surfaces that define the height and two alignment holes that define the lateral position. The optical elements were aligned on the bottom plate using a portable measuring device in combination with a level instrument.
