Ultra-Stable Top and Center Mounts

The Stability™ Series Top and Center mounts build upon the New Focus™ tradition of manufacturing outstanding kinematic mounts that use the best adjustment screws and sapphire seats. With the unique anti-distortion axial retention system, these mounts provide further performance enhancements. The retention system optimizes stability while minimizing wavefront distortion, ensuring that the mirrors are truly flat and rock solid. Mirror installation and removal is simple and fast, requiring no adhesives. Designed originally for precision UV beamsteering applications, these mounts offer excellent long-term stability over a wide temperature range and under shock and vibration conditions. The top-actuated version in which all adjustments are accessed along the top, is ideal for use in compact spaces where access is limited.
Stability Mounts are also available with the ultraclean vacuum-compatible option for demanding UV applications minimizing contamination and outgassing. As with all our vacuum-compatible products, they are characterized using standard Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry analysis (GCMS). They have been measured to outgas less than 5 ppm of volatile mass at 85 °C over three hours. Mass spectrograms detailing the exact outgassing compounds are available on request.
