ADJUSTABLE MIRROR MOUNT DESIGN USING KINEMATIC PRINCIPLES

Abstract

Various designs of mirror mounts are discussed in relation to their performance, construction, choice of materials, etc., together with the principles of kinematic design. Examples are given of systems incorporating many of the optimum design features described which have a precision of several seconds of arc and which are suitable for general optical and laser work.
