A support assembly for supporting a reflecting member of a focusing apparatus utilizes a flexure arrangement. The reflecting member can be in the form of a movable prism, and the flexure arrangement can include a pair of horizontal flexures in the form of sheets that support the moving prism of the focusing apparatus. The flexure arrangements permit the movement of the moving prism in a first direction relative to fixed prisms, fibers and lenses, while preventing or minimizing unwanted tipping, tilting or rotation of the movable prism. In one embodiment of the support assembly, the flexure arrangements can be symmetrically arranged on opposites sides of the movable prism, and in a further embodiment of the present invention, a further flexure arrangement can be arranged to provide for an increased range of motion of the movable prism.
