Open Source Optical Rail from OpenBeam - Magnetic Base
Description
This Is Part Of A System Of Prints That Turns An Openbeam Into An Optical Rail. An Optical Rail Is A Long, Straight, Sturdy Rail Onto Which Optical Components Such As Light Sources And Lenses Can Be Bolted Down And Easily Shifted Along The Length Of The Rail. Commercial Optical Rail Sells For $380/M ($115/Ft). Open Beam Only Costs $12/M For The Fancy Black Anodized Stuff. You Get The Idea. This Component Is Part Of The [Open-Source Optics Project](Http://Www.Appropedia.Org/Open_Source_Optics), Whose Goal Is To Radically Reduce The Cost Of Scientific Optical Hardware: By The [Michigan Tech'S Open Sustainability Technology Research Group](Http://Www.Appropedia.Org/Category:Most).
