  "term": "Optomechanics",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "The engineering field concerned with the design and construction of mechanical systems that hold, position, and stabilize optical components. It combines principles from optical engineering and mechanical engineering to create instruments and assemblies where mechanical stability is paramount for optical performance. Designs must account for thermal expansion, vibration, and material stress, with tolerances often specified in micrometers or arcseconds.",
