Abstract
An optical apparatus has a moveable reflective element and associated actuator. The actuator includes a first magnet which is connected to the moveable reflective element such that movement of the first magnet will cause the moveable reflective element to move, and a second magnet which is connected to a motor such that operation of the motor will cause the second magnet to move. The second magnet is positioned relative to the first magnet such that moving the second magnet will cause the first magnet to move.
