Mounts and Holders for Waveplates

In order to protect waveplates from damaging during transportation or handling, CASIX provides a special design ring mount for waveplates, which are very easy and convenient to be installed into customers's systems. In addition to ring mount, rotating holder which is special designed to modulate waveplate to specified angle is also available.

Ring Mount:
