The second array (116) contains receivers, and the first and second lenses (220, 270) constitute a telecentric lens that forms an image of the first array (114) on the second array (116). Mounting systems (230, 280) attach the first and second lenses (220, 270) respectively to the first and second subsystems (110), and at least one of the mounting systems (230, 280) dynamically moves the attached lens (220, 270) or another optical element (210, 260) to maintain image alignment.
