Holder for Knife-Edge Right-Angle Prism Mirrors (25mm side)

thingiverse

This holder securely cradles a MRAK25-P01 Knife-Edge Right-Angle Prism Mirror from Thorlabs. With ease, the mirror or any similar right-angle prism measuring 25mm in width can be inserted into a standard 4-way cube (CW4). The design enables seamless integration with the mirror, positioned within a construction system set vertically for optimized stability. Engineers have effectively utilized this holder in the spectropolarimeter to divide polarization components originating from a birefringent device. This crucial step is integral to achieving remarkable high-dimensional imaging microscopy capabilities. In the groundbreaking publication, "Maximizing the Biochemical Resolving Power of Fluorescence Microscopy," Alessandro Esposito, Marina Popleteeva, and Ashok R. Venkitaraman detail an extraordinary application involving birefringence detection through the journal of Scientific Studies. To bring this crucial element into being, we rely on 3D printing techniques with precision provided by the Replicator 2x device operating on dissolvable ABS filament to create raft systems, walls, and supporting features. Printing settings must adhere strictly to a high-density structure obtained from using a minimum of 100% fill volume alongside meticulously set layer thicknesses measured at exactly 0.15 millimeters for precise and optimal construction results.
