Description
Oriel Optical Alignment Rail 16" Stage w/ Mirror Mount & 2 Micrometers 3"x3.5"
This Oriel Corp. optical alignment rail is a precision bench-mounted positioning system consisting of a 16-inch anodized aluminum rail, a 3" x 3.5" sliding stage, a circular mirror/optic mount with adjustable yoke, and two Oriel micrometer heads for fine positional control. The stage rides along the rail and locks in place, with the micrometers providing precise X and Y adjustment of the mounted optic. The rail bears a printed scale (in inches and centimeters) for coarse positioning reference, and the stage base is labeled "45 MM TO CL" indicating the centerline offset from the rail edge.

Applications
Oriel optical alignment rails are used in photonics labs, spectroscopy setups, laser beam steering, and general optical bench experiments where precise positioning of mirrors, lenses, filters, or other optics along a linear axis is required. The rail-and-carriage system allows components to be spaced and repositioned quickly while maintaining beam-height consistency. The integrated micrometers provide fine angular and translational adjustment of the mounted optic, making this type of assembly a standard building block in Oriel's modular optical bench system — compatible with other Oriel rail-mounted components and carriers. These systems are widely used in university physics and photonics labs, industrial metrology, laser development, and spectroscopy research, and continue to see active use as robust, durable optomechanical hardware.
This Oriel optical alignment rail with stage, mirror mount, and micrometers has been inspected and is in good used condition. The rail and all components are intact and complete. The rail surface shows light scratches and scuffs typical of used optical bench equipment — these are cosmetic and do not affect function. All photos show the actual unit and its components in detail. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
