Abstract: An optical mount system that may be adjusted by a variety of devices and methods. In some cases, a post collar assembly may be configured to engage a collar coupling surface of a post holder body such that the post collar engages the collar coupling surface in indexed and predetermined angular positions. In some cases, a base of a post holder body may be configured to accept a secondary base element in the form of a mounting adapter which may be releasably secured the base to provide additional stiffness for the mounting of the base to a reference surface.

Abstract: The present application discloses a mount for an optical component having a least one support assembly having at least one support body, at least one adjustment assembly having at least one adjustment body and in communication with the support assembly, the adjustment assembly having at least one first adjustment device configured to rotate the support assembly about at least one first axis, at least one second adjustment device configured to rotate the support assembly about at least one second axis substantially orthogonal to the first axis, and at least one third adjustment device configured to rotate the support assembly about at least one third axis, the third axis being orthogonal to the first axis and the second axis, wherein the at least one first axis, the at least one second axis and the at least one third axis are configured to substantially overlap at least one selected point.

Abstract: A low interference optical mount assembly that permits the mounting of one or more optics in a stable clamped configuration while minimizing the amount of surface area of the optic obscured by an optic mount of the assembly. Clamp embodiments for such an assembly may include a resilient leaf spring or a rigid clamp plate. In some cases, the mount assembly may be configured in a wheel arrangement that allows the selection of multiple optics by rotating a support frame that supports a plurality of optic mounts.
