Alinhe duas imagens centralmente lado a lado

Question

Eu tenho este código:

\begin{figure}[H]
\centerline{
\hspace*{-0cm}
\subfloat[2D MOT]{\includegraphics[scale = 0.05]{"2D-MOT".jpg}  }    %
    \qquad
    \subfloat[Differential pumping section]{\includegraphics[scale = 0.075]{"2D-MOTcoils".jpg}  } %
}
\caption{\textbf{Figure \ref*{fig:realMOT} }: The assembled 2D-MOT. Once cured, the glue turned orange. Showing single core copper wire for quad coils, blue offset coils}
\label{fig:realMOT}%
\end{figure}

que produz este resultado:

Gostaria que as duas figuras estivessem alinhadas pelo centro.

Já vi outras respostas e todas envolvem subfiguree minipageoutros pacotes.
Existe uma maneira simples de incluir umvspace apenaspara um dos subflutuantes?

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo,
            export]{adjustbox}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage[labelfont=bf]{caption}

\begin{document}
    \begin{figure}[htb]
\centering
\subfloat[2D MOT]{\includegraphics[height=2cm,valign=c]{"2D-MOT".jpg}  }    %
    \qquad

\caption{The assembled 2D-MOT. Once cured, the glue turned orange. Showing single core copper wire for quad coils, blue offset coils}
\label{fig:realMOT}%

\noindent   or
