Looks interesting, im curious how it turns out. What are your goals with this setup, no need for telecentrics anymore then?

This will be shown during the tests, whether the F24 will be enough. AR150/F6 with TZ4 is also F24 and LS40 with Quark works well on it.

Hi
It looks very nice, super machining.
Just one question, the three center sections look to be assembled back to front, am I correct?

Cheers Rod

Only the two middle ones are switched. I assembled it just to check the alignment of the holes.

Mirrors are needed as best as possible (l/20 and better). They search very hard. New ones are incredibly expensive. They have a major impact on image quality.
