Ultra-light, low-profile mirror cell optimized for lightweight 12.5" primary mirrors. Six point floatation cell securely supports your primary using no clips or straps. 

The mirror cell weighs less than two pounds and attaches directly to the bottom of your mirror box. In order to minimize the height of your scope's center-of-gravity, the mirror cell has a very low profile, allowing the weight of your primary to be as low as possible. The minimum distance from the bottom of the primary to the inside of the mirror box is only 1". 

The central structure is cast using a high quality aluminum alloy selected to minimize weight and to maximize strength. All of the hardware, including the springs, fasteners, and mirror support pads, are made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel. The mirror is attached to the stainless steel pads using silicone caulk.
