ABSTRACT:
An improved micro-adjustment apparatus particularly useful with optical apparatus and the like in which a mechanical advantage of the order of 25 to 1 between an adjustment screw and a drive is obtained without lost motion thereby permitting adjustments on the order of a tenth of a micron at the output. The mechanical advantage is obtained without lost motion through bending two flexture blades rigidly attached to one another at one end.
