ABSTRACT:
An optical data storage system and a method of assembling the same are disclosed. The storage system includes an optical disc having a data surface, a transducing mechanism including an objective lens, a slider positioned adjacent the data surface, and a lens mount coupled to the slider and to the objective lens and supporting the objective lens relative to the slider. The lens mount forms an aperture in which the objective lens is at least partially inserted. First and second slots formed in the lens mount provide lateral access to the objective lens in the aperture for adjusting a position of the objective lens within the aperture.
