[OpenSPIM] ID'ing a part

[Feinstein, Timothy N]

Thanks folks, I got it.  It's a GM100 Ø1" gimbal mirror mount, for adjusting the mirror without changing the axis of rotation.  I can see how a POLARIS in that position can be a little like adjusting cantilever brakes on a bike - lots of axes of adjustment and changing one effects all the others.  Having something there that adjusts like 'V' brakes do (independent axes, less frustration) seems like a good idea.

All the best,

Hello,

Please forgive the super-basic question.  In most diagrams on openspim.org the last mirror housing before the sample chamber is another POLARIS, but in more advanced designs the mirror housing is a larger and unique item not specified in the basic build list.  Can someone let me know what that is?  Many thanks and apologies if this is answered somewhere else,
