| 4. An optical mounting system comprising:
a cast base;
a plurality of optical component supports cast with and integral with said cast base and extending outwardly from a top surface
of said cast base;
a plurality of support struts integral with said base and spaced beneath said top surface of said cast base to form a first
region and a second region of said cast base, the support struts providing rigidity to said cast base, said first region having
said support struts spaced more closely together than the support struts of said second region; and
kinematic mount components provided in said top surface of said cast base at said first region of said cast base.
