Test Stand Glass Tray
Trays like the GS107 Test Stand Glass Tray can be quickly interchanged. The tray hangs on a fixed column plate, but can easily be removed and exchanged.
Sample specific jigs and mounts can be built into the slotted tray and installed when needed.
The trays can also hold frosted glass to add a diffuse illumination element, particularly if an illuminator head is used as the illumination on the test frame.

Camera Mount
Quickly and easily mount the GFP1600 camera head with a GS105 Rack and Pinion Camera Mount.
Features:
- Quickly adjust gross height of head above sample.
- Make fine adjustments with the optional microstage near head mount. *Not shown*
- The microstage linear adjustment is required for microscope and recommended for macro (close-up) imaging.

Microscope Objective
Microscope Objective are often used when determining stress on small details such as; flaws, edge grind, or contact points.
Featured Specifications:
- C-mount to M26 (36TPI) microscope tube
- Objectives 2x,5x,10x
- Long working distance objectives – 34mm
- Total length 261mm tube + lens
- Micro adjustable linear translation stage
Field of Views (w x h):
- 2x–2.5 x 1.85 mm
- 5x–1 x 0.74 mm

S-Mount Lenses
S-Mount Lens Specifications:
- S-mount (M12 x 0.5mm)
- 6.0mm through 25mm
- Working distance 150 -400 or 400 – ∞
Often the S-Mount lenses can be operated closer than the optimal working distance of 150 mm to accomplish small images in a compact and economical way.
Specialty lenses such as macro lenses can be used to image between normal and microscope ranges.
For distances further than 1000 mm, multiply the working distance in mm by the image size.

Mono or RBG LED Illuminator
The Monochromatic or RBG LED Illuminators by Stress Photonics are typically built with a tray of LEDs. The illuminators are available in single color, or RGB for full retardation range (±1200nm).
Illumination is controlled via software and allows for the user to turn the light on and off for sample alignment, as well as automatic light control during data capture.
With heat generation being much less than previous systems, the illuminator stays on constant during data capture, and does not flash.

Other Accessories
Calibration Disk
Octagonal, stackable calibration disks. These calibration artifacts can be aligned against a straight edge to give 0, 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270, and 315 degree orientations.
The calibration disks also can be stacked to achieve various total values.
The disks are finished with a circularly polarized film centered at approximately 550 nm.
