Product Description
This is an assembly consisting of an HP 10710A Small Leveling Base on which a 45-degree fully reflecting prism has been cemented. Although the prism could have been used to deflect a beam downwards through the aperture in the base, the excess cement that covers the face of the prism adjacent to the base would preclude such use – much of the aperture is filled with cement. Therefore it was intended for use in directing a beam upwards at right-angles to the base-plate.
The prisms are very rigidly mounted. Rather than break the prisms in an effort to remove them, we have decided to offer them in the condition found. The first-surface mirror is in excellent condition, and the prisms (although exposed) have not been chipped or damaged.
Dimensions of the base are as follows.
Height = 0.5”
Width = 1.1”
Length = 1.85”
Through-bore in base = 0.5”
Prism face 20mm square
These components have been removed from various fixtures. They meet our requirements for second quality used interferometer components. All mechanical adjustments work smoothly and there are no gouges or distortions in any of the parts that would in any way impede accuracy of measurements. Cosmetically these components appear only lightly used, however I doubt the prisms can be removed without damaging the glass. No hardware is included other than the two screws used to secure the cradle to the base.
