Abstract

A translational mount for supporting large optical elements, the mount having a stationary support, a mounting ring pivotally attached to the support, a first eccentric ring rotatably mounted within the mounting ring, a second eccentric ring rotatably mounted within the first ring, and an element rotatably mounted within the second ring securing the large optical element thereto. By the appropriate rotational movement of the pair of eccentric rings the optical element is displaced a predetermined amount in both the horizontal and vertical directions.
