The 16 mm Cage System Iris Diaphragm, with a catalog number SP8D, is a precision-engineered component from the renowned optical manufacturer Thorlabs. This iris diaphragm is designed for use with Thorlabs' 16 mm cage system and is characterized by its ultra-thin cage plate design, which allows for seamless integration with other cage system components.
The SP8D features a clear aperture diameter range of 0.7 to 8mm, providing a high degree of flexibility in controlling the beam path. It is crafted from aluminum and finished with black anodization, offering a robust and durable construction that can withstand the rigors of regular use. The iris diaphragm's circular optical shape ensures uniform light transmission, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The key feature of this iris diaphragm is its ultra-thin cage plate design, which not only enhances its compatibility with other cage system components but also reduces its overall weight. This makes it an ideal choice for applications where weight is a critical factor.
