Claim Text:
1. A method of mounting and adjusting a mirror, the method comprising the steps of: providing a mirror having a mount surface having a first diameter and a reflective surface having a second diameter that is less than the first diameter and that is at an offset angle alpha with respect to the mount surface; mounting the mirror to a mechanical mount having a shoulder that forms an opening having a diameter greater than the second diameter and less than the first diameter, the mount surface of the mirror and the shoulder of the mechanical mount contacting one another at a mounting plane; adjusting the offset angle alpha by rotating the mirror with respect to the mechanical mount about an axis normal to the mounting plane to adjust a direction of a reflected light ray; and fixing the mirror to the mechanical mount to inhibit further rotation of the mirror with respect to the mechanical mount.
