Abstract
An optical apparatus has an optic having a first flat surface and a second surface opposite the first flat surface. A frame has a first fixed contact point, a second fixed contact point, and a third fixed contact point that extend from the frame. The first surface of the optic seats against the first, second, and third fixed contact points. A clamping plate applies a three-point nesting force by extending, against the second flat surface of the optic, a first opposing contact point aligned with the first fixed contact point, a second opposing contact point aligned with the second fixed contact point, and a third opposing contact point aligned with the third fixed contact point.
