Optical Bench

Angular errors between the collimator, dispersers, and cameras must be minimized in order to maintain the 0.1 pixel rms image stability requirement. One way to accomplish this may be to mount those assemblies on a commercial-type optical bench. The optical bench would provide the rigid base for the optics, and would be attached to the mainframe.
