The A-Line™ Lens Mounts are designed to make mounting, aligning and focusing lens groups fast and easy. How? The front of each lens mount has a special 6 mm alignment hole, which can be used with GR Series Guide Rods such that several A-Line lens holders can be mounted together in a self-aligned row. The A-Line Lens Mounts all have standard lens tube threading for optic mounting and there are a host of complimenting adaptors for mounting Microscope Objectives, C-Mount camera lenses and 1 in. mirrors. All of these mounts can be clamped to the 6 mm guide rods with the commonly-used 5/64th in. (2 mm) hex wrench.

The A-Line™ Lens Mounts hold standard spherical lenses in sizes from Ø0.5 in. (12.7 mm) thru Ø3.0 in. (76.2 mm) as well as thin Ø1 in. and Ø30 mm lenses. All of these lens mounts have a thin-edge design and threaded post mounting as well as the featured guide-rod alignment hole. When mounted to the guide rod the lens mounts (within the same size group) simply self align to each other making set up fast and easy.
