Collimator
A collimator is a device that narrows a beam of particles or waves. To "''narrow''" can mean either to cause the directions of motion to become more aligned in a specific direction (i.e., make collimated light or parallel rays), or to cause the spatial cross section of the beam to become smaller (beam limiting device). ==History== An English physicist Henry Kater was the inventor of the floating collimator, which rendered a great service to practical astronomy. He reported about his invention in January 1825.〔(The Description of a Floating Collimator. By Captain Henry Kater. ) Read January 13, 1825. (Trans. 1825, p. 147. )〕 In his report, Kater mentioned previous work in this area by Carl Friedrich Gauss and Friedrich Bessel.
