M12 or S-Mount lenses are a type of compact imaging lens used in space-constrained applications.

There are numerous mount types for connecting an imaging lens to a camera. Depending on the application, some mounts are more useful than others.

Monolithic Reflective Beam Expanders are ideal for applications requiring broadband or achromatic beam expansion.

Mounting flat mirrors by their edges in a kinematic mount imparts stress onto the mirror surface. This results in distortion and reduced quality of the reflected wavefront, which is especially noticeable when using high-quality mirrors. Stemmed mirrors, on the other hand, are mounted from a smaller diameter “stem” protruding from the back of the mirror, resulting in significantly reduced stress on the mirror surface, high stability, and cost reduction and can be used as a replacement for a more expensive and complex kinematic mount and a conventional mirror.
