单词 collimator
释义
collimator

Physics
  • 1. Any device for producing a parallel beam of radiation. A common arrangement used for light consists of a convex achromatic lens fitted to one end of a tube with an adjustable slit at the other end, the slit being at the principal focus of the lens. Light rays entering the slit leave the lens as a parallel beam. Collimators for particle beams and other types of electromagnetic radiation utilize a system of slits or apertures.

    2. A small fixed telescope attached to a large astronomical telescope to assist in lining up the large one onto the desired celestial body.


Astronomy
  • A device, usually a lens, for producing a parallel beam of light. In a spectroscope, the collimating lens collects light from the slit, which is at its focal point, and passes it as a parallel beam on to the full width of the prism or grating. Alternatively, a collimator may produce a parallel beam of light for testing an instrument. See also collimation.
