Abstract

In a precision mechanical-optical system, there is the problem of guaranteeing, for the production of a composite made from a plurality of mounted optical lenses, the mutual alignment of the optical axes during assembly and high strength of the composite after assembly with low expense in terms of equipment. Flanges are formed on the mounts for the optical elements, these flanges projecting outward in the radial direction and for adjacent mounts, abutting each other with facing joint surfaces, and are clamped by threaded connections tightening in the axial direction between paired, opposing bending elements.
