Product Description
  • Fixed centering plate, used to align the front surface of optical components mounted in standard O-type two-axis optical mounts (such as AMM-1B) with the central axis of the post
  • Variable centering plate, used to align the front surface of optical components mounted in precision optical mounts (such as AMM3-1B) with the central axis of the post
LBTEK Centering Plates are designed to align the front surface of optical components mounted in LBTEK's AMM and AMM3 series optical mounts with the center of Ø1/2-inch or Ø1-inch posts. Since most standard mirror mounts use the rear plate for post mounting, the front surface of optical elements typically deviates from the post center. This alignment of the optical surface helps minimize off-axis displacement caused by post rotation.
