Mirror Mount, CenterPoint, Lab Standard, 1.0 in., 2 Knob Actuators

The M1-CP CenterPoint™ Mirror Mount holds the mirror directly above and inline with the mounting hole while maintaining a standard 1 in. optical axis height. Having the mirror’s reflective surface sit on the rotation axis of the mounting post enables quick research setups without the need for additional adaptor plates. If the optical path needs to change, a simple rotation can steer the reflected beam well over 270°. Locating the mirror at the intersection of the optical and rotation axes provides many advantages to the user and includes saving valuable setup time and cost. For OEM engineers, the design process goes much faster simply because the mounting hole is always directly below the optical axis. The M1-CP is a compact, clear quadrant mirror mount which is English or Metric mounting compatible, easy to integrate into a custom design, and can be modified with hex screws for OEM applications. In high-density layouts, the M1-CPs can be conveniently positioned on adjacent table mounting holes which are only 1 in. apart. Assemblies using this innovative mirror mount will require fewer standard parts, thereby cutting costs for a variety of optical tools, such as periscopes, delay lines, and polarizer inverters.
