VILA SMO Optical Coaxial Lens Holder, Round Lens Mounting Seat With 360 ° Rotation Scale Dial, M4 Threaded Mounting Hole, Support Xy Linear Movement, For Laboratory Optical Experiments 8-32

VILA SMO

PRECISE XY TRANSLATION & LOCKING: Features a sophisticated M4x0.25 fine-pitch thread mechanism for smooth X and Y axis adjustment. The integrated side locking screw ensures the mirror/lens position remains rigid and drift-free once aligned, providing superior stability for sensitive optical experiments. 1.0-INCH OPTIC COMPATIBILITY: Engineered to securely hold 1.0-inch (25.4mm) diameter optical elements. The coaxial design and fine-thread adjustment make it an essential component for laser alignment, interferometry, and general laboratory optical setups requiring high precision. 360° ROTATION WITH PRECISION SCALE: The outer ring features a clear 360° engraved scale dial, allowing for continuous rotation and accurate angular positioning. Perfect for aligning polarizers, wave plates, or beam steering mirrors where exact orientation is critical. SECURE FULL-SURFACE RETAINING RING: Comes with a dedicated retaining ring that fully encircles the optical element, applying even pressure across the lens edge. This design prevents stress-induced birefringence and ensures the optic stays firmly seated without tilting during XY adjustments. DUAL MOUNTING OPTIONS AVAILABLE: Designed for global lab compatibility. Choose between M4 or 8-32 threaded mounting holes on the base. This flexibility allows seamless integration with both metric and imperial optical posts, breadboards, and cage systems.
