However, the module's outer diameter should not exceed 1 inch or so and the clear aperture should be at least half...

    Questions on choosing a rotary stage

    Hi... Do you guys happen to know any good rotary stages that would work in the vertical plane? I searched Physics Instrument, Zaber and New Port etc. but mostly they only specify a maximum load weight so I assume they would only work well in the horizontal plane. I am designing an automated...
