Mechanics
While our focus is on optical design, the best design will not perform to its full potential without well designed mounts and hardware. We understand that the optical structure and optical components must endure a range of environmental effects including gravity, vibration, thermal and vacuum. We are also experienced with the rigors of large scale metrology.
