The SB18YZ Optic Mount precisely positions any optical element in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis, and is a very popular choice for positioning in spatial filters. The mount accepts any M20.25 RMS-threaded pinhole, microscope objective or lens.

XY travel is ±2 mm. BM Micrometer drives deliver 1 µm sensitivity. Short-focal-length pinhole focusing applications benefit from the 0.1 µm sensitivity of BD Differential Micrometers. BHC Lockable Adjustment Screws fix the optic in position to prevent inadvertent misadjustment.

Mounted on a CN26 carrier, SB18YZ mounts have a 40 mm axis height for compatibility with the X26 component family.
For table mounting, SB18YZ mounts include a base plate similar to those found on our SL Series mounts.
