6 Electronic Autocollimator Principle of Operation AUTOCOLLIMATION PRINCIPLES ELECTRONIC AUTOCOLLIMATOR A standard autocollimator uses a back illuminated cross light reticle A, located behind the focal plane of a collimating lens B. The advantage of the electronic autocollimator is the automation of angular measurements. In the CONEX-LDS autocollimator, the basic principles are the same, but use different components: The resulting image is projected to infinity and reflected back to the instrument from a plane reflecting mirror C. • The source reticle is a Laser diode (1 mW; l = 670 nm). A B...
