(posted 2019-09-25 15:17:06.29) Is it possible to get Mechanical Essentials Kit: Cage Assemblies and Lens Tubes for 60mm Cage components and SM2 tubes? YLohia
(posted 2019-09-25 04:05:52.0) Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. Unfortunately, we currently do not offer this as a kit. We do currently offer the ESK26 kit, which has the SM2 lens tube essentials, though it's missing the 60mm cage components. I have posted your request on our internal engineering forum for further consideration as a future product. acable
