An optical mount is a device used to join a normal
camera and another optical instrument, such as a
microscope or
telescope. The optical mount is generally attached to the camera as a
lens would on one end, and fastened to the other instrument in a similar fashion. Optical mounts are used extensively in
scientific imaging applications in
biology and
astronomy.
