Stability of Optical Posts vs. Pedestals

These two mounting systems react differently to forces such as vibrations or the force of your hand when making adjustments, which can affect your experiment. This motion becomes apparent during alignment of your optical system. The amount of motion caused by your hand during alignment is determined by the stiffness of the post or pedestal. We designed our post holders with a lockable cam lever that distributes a large force evenly against the post. This gives you much better stability than conventional post holders that only lock with a screw. However, even this may not be stable enough for all applications.
