Request InfoMKS/NewportIRVINE, Calif., May 9, 2016 — Newport Corp.’s SU100W series of low-wavefront-distortion Suprema Mirror Mounts reduce distortion by more than 70 percent compared to standard mounts with set screw retained optics. The mounts have stainless steel bodies and precision carbide kinematic pads to ensure low thermal drift. The SU100W series is available in several different configurations using two or three 127 TPI fine adjustment screws with either knobs or locking hex keys to provide tip and tilt adjustability over ±7°. The mounts are compatible with standard post and post holder systems for...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 7/26/2022Optical MountsThe E-Series of Adjustable Size Kinematic Optical Mounts from Edmund Optics Inc. can be used for mounting a wide range of round, rectangular, and square optical components, including round and...Photonics Spectra July 2023 IssueMirror MountsWedged back paraboloid mounts from Optical Surfaces Ltd. provide a secure and stable platform for mirror diameters from 50 to 200 mm.
