Abstract: An assembly for aligning at least one optical component with respect to a light path is described. This assembly includes a substrate having at least one integrally formed, flexural member defined by one portion of the substrate and a primary substrate portion defined by another portion of the substrate. The flexural member includes a component mounting area such that the optical component is mountable thereon and, when the optical component is so mounted, the optical component is movably alignable in the light path by displacement of the component mounting area of the flexural member relative to the primary substrate portion.
