Abstract
A radially adjustable lens mounting with a mounting ring, a lens and a large number of leaf spring elements each of which is firmly attached to the mounting ring at one end, the other end being in contact with a ring groove formed by the peripheral surface of the lens. The lens mounting allows a frictionless and tilt-free adjustment of the lens and holds the lens in a manner that is stable over a long time and is independent of thermal and mechanical stresses.
