It can be used anywhere that stable, accurate fibre (US: fiber) rotation is needed. The popular MDE717 fibre rotator is an updated version of the original and offers the same highly accurate rotation in a more stable package. All accessories are compatible with the Elliot Gold™ series flexure stages. The optical axis height is 18 mm above the platform surface and on the centre line of the location slot.
