Mirror Mount Question



Optics folks



I'm looking for a manufacturer of a mount suitable for use in the moving
mirror in a Michelson Interferometer.



I'm using 1" square mirrors and a 1" cube BS and tried using Edmunds
mounts for the mirrors, but I now realise that these are kinematic mounts
and are not really suitable for what I want. (I believe that they are
designed to provide the maximum freedom of movement with the minimum number
of 'screws'. It *is* possible to set up the MI with these mounts, but
adjusment in one plane is difficult.



Before I set off on a possibly expensive custom mount I thought I 'd check
and see if there is anything out there.





What I'm looking for is a mount that will allow precise 'X' translation
possibly with a differential type adjuster (to set the path length) together
with a '3 screws set in a triangle' type of mount to allow parallelism and
tilt (for controlled fringe formation) in the Z axis to be controlled.



Can anyone point me in the right direction? - a UK supplier preferred but
not essential



TIA
