Optical Cell Kinematic Mounts

Optical Cell Kinematic Mounts provide highly stable kinematic movement with two axis tilt (pitch and roll) provided by a precise ball pivot adjustment and an orthogonal three-point suspension. Adjustment is made by three 64-pitch screws (two 64-pitch screws for 1-2″ diameter model). Adjustment is made by two 64-pitch screws for 6″ diameter model and three 32-pitch screws for 8″ up to 12.5″ diameter models. Fine pitch screws permit 50% greater resolution than a micrometer. Angled base allows for stand-alone installation and mounting. These mounts have integral optic cell design allowing optics to be held undistorted.

Note: For mounting 12″ diameter optics in our 12.5″ Diameter Optical Mount, use the 12.5″ to 12″ Adapter Kit (#12-226). The Adapter Kit and 12.5″ Diameter Optical Mount are offered together as #12-227.
