Three-Axis Spatial Filters
This spatial filter is an elegantly simple device featuring an accessible design with precision
micrometer control over pinhole placement and objective lens focus. The pinhole mount is
magnetically registered against the machined faces of the non-rotating X-Y adjustment
spindles. A precision-machined slot in the pinhole mount mates repeatably to the spindle
face, resisting accidental motion of the mount while permitting fine adjustment. The
objective lens Z-axis motion is provided by a precision linear bearing, so that focus is found
and maintained without jitter or side-play. The long-travel focus adjustment accommodates
virtually any objective lens. The open architecture of this spatial filter makes it especially
easy to change pinholes and objectives.
The 900 (M-900) comes standard with a 900PH-25 pinhole and M-10X microscope
objective. This pinhole and objective combination may not be correct for your particular
application. Different objective lenses and mounted pinholes can be ordered separately
(see page 817 and page 836). These spatial filters are designed to accommodate all M-
and MV-Series Objective Lenses, the L-4X and L-50X Infinity-Corrected Objective Lenses,
and 900PH-Series Mounted Pinholes. For information on how to pick the correct objective
and pinhole see page 1419.
Alignment
Aligning our Model 900 Spatial Filter is straightforward. Start by positioning the spatial
filter assembly in the laser beam while observing the back reflections from the objective
lens to bring both into alignment. To align the pinhole, first defocus the lens, then while
observing the pinhole substrate, adjust the pinhole position until a faint light appears at the
output. Alternate the lens Z-axis adjustment with X-Y pinhole position corrections until the
best throughput and focus are achieved. This is indicated when a deliberate pinhole
movement causes the symmetric output pattern to quickly disappear. A slow smear means
a poor focus.
Objective lenses and mounted pinholes
install easily into the positioning stage body.
Precise, long-travel 3-axis micrometer adjustments
Accommodates virtually any microscope objective
Unobstructed view of pinhole aids adjustment
Easy pinhole removal and replacement
