Optical mount

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

An optical mount is a device used to join a normal camera and another optical instrument, such as a microscope or telescope. The optical mount is generally attached to the top of the post of a camera as a lens would on one end, and fastened to the other instrument in a similar fashion.[1] Optical mounts are used extensively in scientific imaging applications in biology and astronomy. An example of a tool with an optical mount would be optical tweezers.[2]

Custom made optical mounts must allow the insertion and stable retention of the optical component without damage to the optical component itself.[3]
