Produce the smooth wavefront interferometry and holography need at the input.
Combine pinhole filtering and collimation in one assembly ahead of the experiment.
System integration
Use these checks to connect NASF13-5A to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
Technical FAQ
Mounting Hole: 3 x M6. Match the thread standard and hole pitch before ordering. Metric and imperial hardware interchange only through an adapter, and a thread that is nominally similar is not necessarily the same pitch.
Angle(°): ±3 · XY Axis Adjustment Range(mm): ±1. Adjuster pitch sets the sensitivity you can actually work at. Confirm whether the stated figure is a total range or a per-revolution increment, and whether the mechanism is locked after adjustment.
Weight(g): 380. Use the stated geometry and mass to fix beam height, clearance and the load carried by whatever this part is bolted to. These are the numbers that decide whether adjacent components physically collide.
Model selection
Compare NASF13-5A with the closest available models in the NASF series Spatial Filter family. Confirm option-dependent values on the final configuration before ordering.
