Abstract
Metering structure includes a rigid strut configured to support an optical element. A rigid shield mounted on the strut has a shield length which is substantially coextensive with the elongated length of the rigid strut such that rigid shield substantially encloses the strut along the entire shield length. The rigid shield has a surface finish which is highly absorptive of electromagnetic radiation in the optical spectrum. One or more thermal insulating material layers comprise a multi-layer insulation (MLI) system disposed between the rigid strut and the rigid shield. Rigid and flexure brackets secure the rigid shield to the strut.
