Optical V-Mount Stand

thingiverse

This part was inspired by an antique wooden V-block optical mount. Apparently, they are scarce nowadays but were likely more prevalent in the past. It can accommodate both mirrors and lenses, and its size can be easily adjusted as needed. The mount enables a subtle tilting of the optical component upwards or downwards while providing sufficient stability.\r\n\r\nI am incorporating this stand into an elaborate Schlieren imaging system, which I will link to once it is fully operational.
