Optic Inserter Stage, 8-32 Thread

The LNS-1 Optic Inserter Stage allows precise insertion and removal of optical mounts into and out of a beam path, very similar in function to a kinematic base but with the advantage of keeping your hand out of the beam path. The Stage’s 2 inches of linear motion is guided by precision ball bearings and positioned with adjustable/lockable magnetic stops. A long rod is used to manually move the stage between its two stopping points. Optical mounts can be attached to the stage using any of the 8-32 threaded mounting holes. 45-degree cross hatched lines can be used as a guide for positioning mirror mounts for beam splitting applications. LNS-1 stages are easy to configure to your exact optical axis height. Optical pedestals, like the PX or PS series, easily mount to the base to the stage and precision spacers can get you to nonstandard heights.
