Before you specify
Engineering context for choosing this class of component, with the tradeoffs worked through on real specifications.
Opto-mechanicsVibration, thermal drift and mechanical integration are one problem. Budget the motion at the sample, then specify the table, the isolation, the mounts and the beam height that budget asks for.
