Description

These connectors are used to construct TubeMount assemblies with intersecting axes. Each is supplied with a frame which clamps either a 25mm prism or cube beamsplitter, or a 40x25mm mirror or plate beamsplitter, with rotation and tilt adjustments. Adaptors are listed for 16mm cubes/prisms and for 25mm dia. optics.

The side ports around the circumference (2, 3 or 4 according to model) have 25mm TubeMount threads and accept, for instance, ML 25 mounts; to attach tubes use connectors listed.

All cube connectors also have a 40mm threaded port in the base and a 25mm port in the cap, forming a third axis, which is particularly useful for systems using 40mm tubes. Blanking plates to fill these two ports are included; these have M6 threaded holes for direct mounting or post-mounting.

Other ports may be closed with standard plugs listed here, which has an AR-coated black glass face which practically eliminates spurious reflections in beamsplitter illumination systems etc.
