Although the study of light has been underway for centuries, it is only in the last 40 years that optics and photonics has become a dominant field, with impact in almost every aspect of our lives, from entertainment, to medicine, to defense, to communications. In the 20th century, electronics was the dominant influencing technology, enabled by optics. The 21st century is the “Age of Light”, a century that will have optics and photonics as the dominant influencing technology, enabled in some cases by electronics.

The international optical societies, particularly SPIE and Optica, provide a directory of programs. SPIE has a searchable directory on the web at www.opticseducation.org

These industrial grade kinematic optic mounts offer exceptional performance with a wide variety of flexible options. Our IM_._ series mounts use precision 80TPI or 100TPI adjustment screws for excellent resolution and feel in the hand. The solid 3/8-inch thick aluminum back plate offers mounting options for right or left-hand compatibility. These mounts use a full "L" cutaway back for maximum clear aperture. The IM_._C3 versions have a cutaway front face to optimize tight beam layouts and are available in right-hand or left-hand versions.
