Optical Focus Translator

   The OFT optical focus translator allows the user to simply adjust the focus of an optic along the optical axis.  The simple cam design is able to translate 0.25-inch in 30° of rotation of the focusing lever.  Once in position the OFT can be locked with a Delrin® knob.

   Vertical or horizontal mounting of the OFT is made simple with multiple 8-32 and 1⁄4-20 tapped holes on its diameter and back face.  The OFT is compatible with our OH1.0 series of optic holders.

   By combining the IS-CA camera mount, OFT-160t 160mm tube and OFT with our OH1.0-OB, you can build a simple single objective imaging system.  The IS-CA has a C-mount thread on one side for mounting a camera with matching thread.  On the other end is the mating thread for attaching to the OFT-160t.  There is also a internal thread for mounting optional 1.0-inch optics and a slip-joint for aligning the camera image.  The OFT-160t is threaded into the OH1.0 that is supplied with the OFT.  On the opposite side of the OFT the objective is attached to the OFT with an OH1.0-OB objective adapter.
