The 2-adjuster design improves stability by limiting degrees of freedom, while the 3-adjuster design enables tip, tilt, and Z-axis (optical axis) translation. Each mount has an SM2-threaded (2.035"-40) bore for ร˜2" optics up to 0.5" (12.7 mm) thick or SM2-threaded components.

The KA2T 2-Adjuster and KA2TA 3-Adjuster Mounts use adjusters with ร˜0.07" (ร˜1.8 mm) through holes for side actuation, in addition to the 5/64" (2 mm) hex at each adjusterโ€™s end. The KA2TB mount includes two low-profile hex adjusters to minimize its footprint.

Featuring a low-drift design and clear-anodized 7075 aluminum construction, the new PolarisยฎKA Kinematic Mirror Mounts suit industrial applications requiring long-term alignment stability. Testing shows <4 ยตrad of beam deviation after 15 ยฐC temperature cycling.

If you mean the cups under the threaded holes, they manage spills and debris! Without them, things get trapped inside. If you mean the thin plastic layer, it's a protective film from manufacturing and should be removed by the user.

Thanks for the great question!
