ABSTRACT:
An optical mount enabling independent orthogonal adjustment of the angular position of an optical element comprises a cell adapted to receive an optical element and a base defining a chamber open on one side thereof for receipt of at least a part of the cell therein. The cell comprises a circumferentially extending partial spherical section and a pair of portions extending outwardly of the spherical section, and the base comprises an angular seat on the open side receiving and conforming to at least a portion of the spherical section of the cell and a pair of portions extending outwardly of the seat and facing the cell portions. A pair of independent adjustable means spaced from each other by substantially 90.degree. are secured to one of the portion pairs for movement therewith and have parts adapted to operatively abut against aligned sections of the other of the portion pairs. The parts of the adjustable means and the corresponding aligned sections of the other portion pair are biased towards each other. The cell is pivotable orthogonally about axes passing through the geometric center thereof, without cross-coupling by independent adjustment of the adjustable means.
