SM1 Lens Tube
This lens tube features SM1 external threads on one end
and SM1 internal threads on the other end. Those thread
are mainly used to fix Ø25.4 mm optical components. This
lens tube is suitable for quickly building compact optical
systems by adopting an expandable design. Besides,
each lens tube comes with an SM1R retaining ring to
secure the optics. CSSM1-XXD features an external slot,
so the lens position can be adjusted from the slot without
unscrewing the retaining ring. After adjusting the position,
the outer sleeve can be rotated to cover the slot, and
comes with two SM1R retaining rings.
Zolix SM1 lens tube is normally used to fix Ø25.4 mm
optics and create light-tight beam paths to avoid the
affection from the ambient light. SM1 lens tubes can be
equipped with external thread or internal thread or both
of them. The lens tubes can be connected to extend
optical path length, it facilitates to quickly build compact
optical systems. Optics are separated and secured by
positioning the retaining rings at the desired position
within the lens tube through a ring wrench
