For high-precision lenses, the method of mounting single lenses in sub-cells and processing them using alignment turning has proven effective. During this process, the edge of the mount and the flange surfaces of mounted lenses are produced in a way so that the axis of symmetry of the mount coincides with the optical axis of the lens and ensuring that all lenses have the correct air gaps between them. After being machined, the mounted lenses are inserted into a lens barrel \u2013 without requiring any additional alignment steps. In many cases, clamping rings are used at both ends of the barrel to secure the elements within the lens barrel. If the inside of the lens needs to be sealed, for example because it is filled with gas, additional O-rings are used.<\/p>\n
