METHOD OF MOUNTING OPTICAL ELEMENT IN MOUNT Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: optical-mechanical industry. SUBSTANCE: when lens is mounted into the mount, the thicknesses of the thermal compensators are adjusted according to widths of parallel axes of objective of grooves of the mount till getting space, which does not excess over minimal tolerance for decentering surfaces of optical element. Optical element is mounted into the mount to have temperature space along the diameter, and then the element is centered when balancing for supporting edge of the mount. Then thermal compensators are installed into longitudinal grooves of the mount, and then thermal compensators are connected rigidly with optical element. EFFECT: improved efficiency. 2 dwg
