Examples of collimation
collimation
Mohan, R. Field shaping for three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy and multileaf collimation.

For portable Newtonians collimation can be a problem.

This will result in full beam collimation.

If they separate there is collimation error.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The concept of laser beam collimation is only true for transmission in a vacuum, or at its immediate exit from the laser cavity.
From the nature.com
Beam collimation is usually achieved using lenses or other bulky optical devices that typically require meticulous alignment.
From the sciencedaily.com
Using the two types of collimation in tandem is especially effective for better imaging of small tumors, the study indicates.
From the sciencedaily.com
Estimates of rates of short GRBs are even more uncertain because of the unknown degree of collimation, but are probably comparable.
From the en.wikipedia.org
These devices deliver electron beams with such a strong collimation that their transverse component is limited by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle only.

- The accurate adjustment of the line of sight of a telescope
- (collimate) parallel: make or place parallel to something; "They paralleled the ditch to the highway"
- (collimator) a small telescope attached to a large telescope to use in setting the line of the larger one
- (collimator) optical device consisting of a tube containing a convex achromatic lens at one end and a slit at the other with the slit at the focus of the lens; light rays leave the slit as a parallel beam
- Collimated light is light whose rays are nearly parallel, and therefore will spread slowly as it propagates. The word is related to "colinear" and implies light that does not disperse with distance (ideally), or that will disperse minimally (in reality). ...
- 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. collimated or parallel) or to cause the spatial cross section of the beam to become smaller.
- The act of collimating or something collimated; aligning lenses along line of sight to minimize aberrations
- (collimate) To focus into a narrow beam or column
- (collimated) of light beams whose rays are parallel and thus has a plane wavefront
