Abstract
A mirror mounting structure with low thermal drift is enabled by providing a mirror mounting structure which vertically and/or horizontally aligns the mirror by providing two point forces against the mirror holding structure. The mirror holding arm is connected to a thick more rigid arm by resilient narrow slightly flexible neck portion. Screws threaded through the large arm contact alignment points on the mirror mount portion and permit accurate alignment in a desired plane. Thermal drift and hysteresis is minimized, since the alignment forces are acting upon the mirror mount portion in the same direction and minimize the deviations caused by thermal expansion.
