Definition
In optics, to adjust or test optical instruments by reflecting light back on itself to check for proper alignment or collimation.
Etymology
From 'auto-' (self) plus 'collimate' (from Latin 'collineare,' to aim at a line). The prefix indicates the self-referential optical principle.
Kelly Says
Autocollimation is ingenious—you bounce light back on itself to test if it's properly aligned, like checking if a mirror is level by seeing if your reflection lines up. It's a principle telescopes still use today.
