Definition
The process or result of aligning light rays, particles, or mechanical parts into a parallel arrangement; the adjustment of optical systems for proper alignment.
Etymology
From Latin 'collineare/collimare' (to align together) plus the -tion suffix indicating an action or result.
Kelly Says
Collimation might be the most important invisible quality in optics—a tiny collimation error in a telescope mirror means distant galaxies look blurry, but perfect collimation lets us see billions of light-years away!
