Plural of autocollimator; multiple optical instruments used for measuring angles and alignment with high precision.
Plural form of autocollimator, maintaining the same etymological roots in auto- and collimation terminology from optical science.
The reason precision manufacturing exists at all is partly because of autocollimators—without these instruments, we couldn't build the computer chips, aircraft parts, and medical devices that require tolerance to tolerances smaller than a human hair.
