A user of a PSM mentioned that it was too bad that data of spot positions could not be logged in the PSM Align software. This is true, data cannot be logged in the PSM Align software, but there is a version of the software designed for use with the centering station, LCS-PSM Align, that does log data. We do not send this version of the software out with the PSM alone because we figure it is not needed, at least initially, and it just adds more to the time to get familiar with the PSM.
On the other hand...

It may surprise you but about 15% of Point Source Microscopes (PSMs) purchased are built into custom optical test hardware. Optical Perspectives supplies a CAD model of the PSM to help the customer integrate the PSM into their test hardware design. When the custom hardware is built the PSM is bolted in place, connected to its computer and the test hardware is ready to use as an autocollimator, alignment device or centering sensor.
The Right Angle Adapter (RAA) is an attachment for the Point Source Microscope (PSM) that adds flexibility to the PSM by allowing the objective to be attached at right angles to the axis of the PSM.
Precision balls for use with the PSM for alignment and assembly of optical systems.
The “C” mount has 1”-32 TPI and fits many Edmund Optics lens tubes and fittings.
The Thorlabs SM1 adapter with 1.035-40 TPI fits many Thorlabs SM1 lens tubes.
The Mitutoyo adapter with M26x36 TPI fits their long working distance objectives.
OPG offers a NIST traceable square wave grating with 4 lp/mm spacing for use in calibrating the lateral scale of the PSM and other optical instruments.
OPG offers a PTB traceable 1” diameter window with an approximate 30 arc minute wedge measured for exact value to better than 1 arc second on a Trioptics PrismMaster and a Certificate of that measurement.
Optical Perspectives Group, LLC is pleased to announce that Optical Support, Inc. of Tucson, AZ is manufacturing all of our products, including the Point Source Microscope, the MicroFinish Topographer and the Axicon Centering Station.

Sometimes good news goes unnoticed for the longest time. We just stumbled on this unattributed, but complimentary note about the PSM.
