Collimation is used for telescopes to make sure the telescopes are perfectly aligned. The reflector will not produce the best image if the aligned is not just right.
This term is used in surveying. 'Height of collimation' means height of instrument.Generally this term is used while doing levelling i.e. Measuring elevation of given point.
The height of collimation is the height of the line of sight. It is the vertical distance of the horizontal plane through a telescope.
Telescopes are used inside
diaphragm
Light is found by reflecting telescopes and refracting telescopes are used to dected sound
Telescopes are instruments used by astronomers. The first person to do this was Galileo.
The largest telescopes that use visible light are reflector telescopes.
Telescopes are used to see things that are far away from earth. Using telescopes we can see things that are millions of miles away. Most of the telescopes are on Earth but some of them are in space such as the Hubble Space Telescope.
The largest telescopes that use visible light are reflector telescopes.
Refracting telescopes and reflecting telescopes are commonly used to observe stars in visible light. These telescopes utilize lenses or mirrors to gather and focus light, allowing astronomers to view stars with clarity and detail.
Ground telescopes and orbital satellite telescopes.
Collimation Error: Collimation error occurs when the collimation axis is not truly horizontal when the instrument is level. The effect is illustrated in the sketch below, where the collimation axis is tilted with respect to the horizontal by an angle α: Figure ( ) In this particular example, the effect is to read too high on the staff. For a typical collimation error of 20", over a sight length of 50m the effect is 5mm. If the sight lengths for back sight and foresight are equal, the linear effect is the same for both readings. When the height difference is calculated, this effect cancels: δh = (b + s. α) - (f + s. α) = b - f That is, the effect of the collimation error is eliminated if sight lengths are kept equal.
