Abstract:
An optical lens cell comprising:a tubular optic support structure having an interior with a longitudinal central axis and a first optic support surface extending around the longitudinal central axis for receiving a first optic having a first outer circumferential edge and a first mounting surface portion adjacent said first circumferential edge and extending transverse to the longitudinal central axis, a plurality of raised surface members positioned on said first optic support surface and raised from said first optic support surface in a direction extending along the longitudinal central axis, and at least a first resilient member extending transverse to said longitudinal central axis and configured to contact said first mounting surface portion of the first optic when said first optic is positioned adjacent said first optic support surface, said first resilient member further configured to apply a biasing force against said first mounting surface portion along the longitudinal central axis to force said first optic against said raised surface members of said first optic support surface.
