ABSTRACT:
An assembly useful for retaining optical components such as lenses, optical filters and the like includes a block having a cavity and a pair of retainers received in the cavity. In certain embodiments, the cavity is cylindrical and each retainer has a semi-cylindrical configuration. Each retainer preferably includes integrally molded deformable ribs that shift the optical components when the retainers are closed to a position such that the optical axis of each component is collinear with the central axis of the optical chamber and the retainer cavity.
