This adapter ensures the filter slider clears the diagonal's housing without introducing tilt or flexure, maintaining a rigid and parfocal imaging train.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 7.2mm Adapter for 2\" Diagonal Alignment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you attach the main UFC Base to a 2\" diagonal, the filter slider mechanism often lacks the clearance to operate without hitting the diagonal's body.
