Abstract: A faceted mirror apparatus includes a support plate having a plurality of stepped reception bores into which are fitted the base portions of respective ones of a plurality of mirror facets having mirrored surfaces. An outer surface of each of the facets bears on an inner wall to provide a stable alignment of the optical axes of the mirrored surfaces such that the apparatus generates a beam of rays from impinging rays.
