Specifically designed accessories for the 466A Fiber Alignement Stage
Fiber Rotators and Holders
Lens Holders
Fixed Brackets
Clamp Set
All fiber holders and accessories are compatible with the 466A Series Flexure Stages. The optical-axis height is 18 mm above the platform surface and, with the flexure stage, 94 mm overall. Where necessary, a locating tongue forms part of the accessory. A standard clamp system (M-) 466A-154 is used. It is included with the (M-) 466A Flexure Stages and the fixed bracket accessories, model (M-) 466A-147 , (M-) 466A-148 , and (M-) 466A-149 .
