Lens Adaptor, 0.5 in. Mount to 0.25 in. Diameter Lens, A-LINE

This A-LINE™ Lens Adaptor allows Ø0.25 in. lens to be mounted into Ø0.5 in. lens mount like the LH-0.5A or LH-0.5N or LH-0.5DB. The adaptor is particularly useful for mounting Ø0.25 in. and Ø0.50 in. lens on the same LH-GR guide rod. The lens adaptor also has a chamfered external edge to ensure the retaining ring on host mount is automatically centered. These adaptors also can be used with most Ø0.5-in. mirror mounts and lens tubes.

Mounting, Aligning and Focusing Lenses Fast and Easy

A-Line™ series of self-aligning mounts are designed to make mounting, aligning and focusing lens groups fast and easy. How? The front of each lens mount has a special 6 mm alignment hole, which can be used with LH-GR Series Guide Rods such that several A-Line lens holders can be mounted together in a self-aligned row. This overview video demonstrates the easy and fast aligning process using the A-Line lens mounts.

Space Saving Design

Several A-Line self aligning optic mounts can be grouped on the same guide rod to save space. Shown are the LH-1DB with UPA-CFC fiber adapter, the LH-RMS with microscope objective and the LH-1A with lens.

Increased Stiffness for Reduced Vibration

A-Line™ lens holders are constrained both by the post/post holder as well as by the A-Line guide rod creating a "strong-box" structure that is significantly stiffer and less susceptible to vibration than individually post-mounted lenses. Shown on the right is A-line lens mounts and rods used together with TSP Series Miniature Optical Mounting Post and MSPH Series Miniature Slotted-Base Optical Post Holders.
