MAX300 Series 3-Axis Flexure Stages

Orienting the Moving Platform
The stage is normally oriented such that the X axis is the optical axis. If it is necessary
to change the orientation for left or right-handed use, the Y axis becomes the optical
axis as shown in Fig. 4.2 (The Z axis is always vertical).
Note
. On both imperial and metric models, the top platform is secured to the stage
using four M3 screws.
