Lens Mount Selection Guide

Newport offers a full range of Lens Mounts to meet various experimental requirements. Fixed Lens Mounts offer a convenient, economical system for mounting lenses and beamsplitters. Adjustable, variable and self centering lens mounts can support a variety of lens sizes in the same lens mount. Lens positioners allow for precision adjustment of the lens position. Lens tubes enable stable and rigid assemblies of several optical components. Rotatable optic mounts are also availiable for polarizers or lenses.
