Abstract
An optics X-Y positioner has an optics support positioned within a housing having sides and front and rear walls. The optics support has a groove on one face which rides in an X direction along a ridge in a sliding guide plate. The guide plate slides within a flat groove in the Y direction in the rear wall of the housing. X and Y direction adjustment screws extend through sides of the frame and abut the optics support. A spring in tension is wrapped about the optics support in a circumferential groove to force the optics support against the adjustment screws.
