ABSTRACT:
A device and method for angularly indexing an object (e.g., a mirror) relative to another at predetermined angles is provided. A rotatable mirror mount has the mirror mounted to a first element that rotates about an axis relative to an intermediate element. The intermediate element itself rotates about the same axis relative to a second element. The first and intermediate elements are formed with detents for establishing desired relative orientations at predetermined angles. The intermediate element can be locked at any position relative to the second element. When the intermediate element is locked, the first element remains rotatable with respect to the intermediate element and is restrained at desired relative orientations by the detents.
