shown in Figure 2. 1/4"-80 fine pitch adjustment screws allow for 360° of rotational 
adjustment (8° fine adjustment) for the reflected camera and 4 mm XY adjustment 
of  the  transmitted camera;  both  camera  ports  have up to 6 mm of course  focus 
adjustment, allowing for parfocalization of both images.
