The mount studies of Chapter 3 were presented to show the niceties of quasikinematic mounts to limit mount-induced forces to the critical structures to which they are attached. For mirrors, particularly reflective mirrors, which are quite sensitive to minute deformation errors, this is of paramount importance.
