Abstract
A reflector for a precision optical device is provided. The reflector comprises a reflective surface, a back surface, a thickness between the reflective surface and the back surface defining an edge of the reflector, at least one mounting pad located along at least a portion of the edge of the reflector for adhesion to a portion of the precision optical device, and a mounting pin extending from another portion of the edge of the reflector for adhesion within a hole in the precision optical device.

A reflector for a precision optical device, comprising:
- a reflective surface;
- a back surface;
- a thickness between said reflective surface and said back surface defining an edge of said reflector;
- at least one mounting surface located along at least a portion of said edge of said reflector for adhesion to a portion of said precision optical device;
- and
- a mounting pin extending from another portion of said edge of said reflector for adhesion within a hole in said precision optical device.
A precision optical device, comprising:
- first and second side panels, said first side panel having a hole formed therein;
- a first reflector comprising a first reflecting surface and a mounting pin extending from a first edge of said first reflector, said mounting pin received within said hole formed in said first side panel for mounting said first reflector between said panels at a first end of said panels;
- and
- a second reflector comprising at least a second reflecting surface, mounted between said side panels at a second end thereof in an orientation so that an incident light ray reflecting off of any of said reflecting surfaces is reflected to and off the other(s) of said reflecting surfaces in a direction substantially parallel to said incident light ray.
A mounting assembly for a reflector for a precision optical device, comprising:
- a reflector, comprising:
- a reflective surface;
- a back surface;
- a thickness between said reflective surface and said back surface defining an edge of said reflector;
- and
- at least one mounting surface located along at least a portion of said edge of said reflector for adhesion to a precision optical device;
- and
- a mounting pin to be adhered to a second mounting surface of said edge of said reflector for adhesion within a hole in said precision optical device.
