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.
foot
bent low, ex, if you stoop low to the height of someone who is shorter than you
Adjective. Superlative adjective to be more specific.
The opposite of 'big' is little.
The noun height is an abstract noun as a word for the ideal example of something, such as the height of fashion, the height of integrity, the height of absurdity, etc.The noun height is a concrete noun as a word for something physical that can be measured, such as the height of a person, the height of a building, the height of an airplane, etc.
The height of collimation is the height of the line of sight. It is the vertical distance of the horizontal plane through a telescope.
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.

the advantages of this method was that it is more quick and less calculation needed and the disadvantages, it less accurate compare to the rise and fall method.
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.
The prefix "acro-" conveys the meaning of height.
it is line set out by the optical axis of the instrument ( level). so it is just an imaginary line that describes the ray of light that allowes us to read different values from the leveling staff. this term arose from the fact that in differential leveling in surveying we must construct horizontal line of sight, but due to collimation error the collimation line (i.e. line of sight) will not be 100% horizontal (by horizontal we mean tangent the level surface at the instrument position), instead it will be slightly deviated. so what we are looking to achieve when we eliminate the collimation error (using the 2 peg test) is a horizontal line of collimation.
A reduced level is the vertical distance between a survey point and the adopted level datum. There are two methods for calculating reduced levels, namely the "rise and fall" method and the "height of collimation" method. The latter reduces levels relative to the instrument height. As it has inferior built-in checks, it is unreliable.
The prefix meaning height that begins with "ac" is "acro-".

Reduced level in land surveying refers to the vertical distance from a known elevation point, such as a benchmark, to a point of interest on the ground. It is typically used to determine the height or depth of a specific location relative to a reference point.
