Introduction
An optics experiment usually involves several optical elements which must be attached to an optic table. The K-Optics modular optic table can house a locking nut in any of its sockets where then an element can be mounted. The integral base is one of two K-Optics solutions, with the other being the fork and spacer. The integral base is injection molded in house at K-Optics from engineering-grade polymers.
Working Principle
The integral base attaches a tilt mount to the optic table via a plastic head screw which is fastened into an appropriately placed locking nut. As with the circular base, the integral base can hold the tilt mount at three different angles; however, it is less versatile than the spacers and is generally used for components which are fixed in place and require less positioning flexibility.
