Note on Difference in Simulated and Physical Coordinate Definitions
______________________________

It should be noted briefly that when discussing our physical microscope systems using Navigate software, the definitions
for the coordinate axes is different than that of our simulations. This is due to a difference in standardized
definitions for the axes in our previous systems and how Zemax defines these same axes. This difference is depicted in
the picture below:

Visualization of Axes Mapping
Mounting a Lens in a Polaris Holder
______________________________


In our system we essentially have 5 different translation stages at work: the standard x,y, and z axes, an additional
stage along the z axis to control the focus of the detection path (f), and and axis associated with the piezo positioned
such that its normal is 60.5 degrees away from the y-axis.

How to Mount a Lens in a Polaris Holder
Installing the Piezo Angle Mount
______________________________

The installation of our custom angled piezo mount is designed to be directly compatible with ASI translation stages.
ASI translation stages feature M6 hole pairs that are spaced along the length of the translation stage at intervals
dependent on the specific stage one is using. The base of our angle mount has 4 holes designed to be used to mount to
the stage. The mounting process involves aligning these 4 holes with 4 of the M6 holes on the translation stage and
screwing them in. For ease of screwing in the base, there are four holes on the angled face of the mount shown in B
that a screwdriver is able to pass directly through to screw as shown in C. An alternative method of mounting is
shown in D, where the window on the back of the angle mount is able to be screwed through as well.
