New York, NY, June 18 2009 -- Levi & Korsinsky (“L&K”) is investigating the Board of Directors of Axsys Technologies, Inc. (“Axsys” or the “Company”) (NasdaqGS: AXYS) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with their attempt to sell the Company to General Dynamics Corp. According to the merger agreement, Axsys shareholders will
