摘要： The present invention provides a spatial flexure comprising: a base section; an end section; and an intermediate laterally contracting and expanding section connecting the base and end sections, whereby when the intermediate section laterally expands or contracts, the end section pivots downwardly or upwardly. The present invention further provides a spatial flexure scanner comprising: a base section; a mirror section; an intermediate laterally contracting and expanding section connecting the base and mirror sections; an actuator associated with the base section; a scan mirror connected to the mirror section; means connecting the actuator and the mirror for causing lateral contraction or expansion of the intermediate section in response to the actuator, whereby when the intermediate section laterally expands or contracts, the mirror section pivots downwardly or upwardly.
