Coudé Collimators

Two collimators are available, the "short" one and the "long" one. The long collimator is used only with gratings A and B, which are big enough to accommodate a 12" beam diameter. Gratings C, D, the echelle, and the RC gratings are only 8" wide, and must be used with the smaller collimator.
