ABSTRACT:
A two axis adjustable optical mount capable of lock down after alignment is rovided by a dual ring arrangement which represents a segment of two concentric spheres. An optical element such as a lens or mirror is held within an inner ring by a retaining ring. The inner ring fits within the outer ring to form a partially concentric sphere arrangement across the diameter. Orthogonally mounted set screws can be used to adjust the relationship of the inner ring to the outer ring and a collar screw clamp is used to freeze the relationship between the inner and outer rings once the desired orientation is achieved.
