Abstract
Optics grabbing devices that can hold and manipulate optical elements such as lenses or mirrors. Grabbers of the inventive subject matter have two flat surfaces with teeth on opposite sides, which can grip the edges of the optical element. The teeth are designed to prevent damage to the optical element and to allow a user to align it precisely with other grabbers or with other mechanisms. Grabbers can be used for various optical applications that require precise positioning and handling of optical elements.
