Newtonian collimators are Herschelian mounted Newtonian telescopes.
This classic all-reflective configuration has no central obstruction and locates the focal plane to the side of the telescope structure. The parabolic primary segment collimates light reflected by a flat turning mirror from a light source or transilluminated target. These systems are packaged in self-supporting, ruggedized enclosures designed to provide thermal stability. Each mirror is removable for cleaning. Mirrors are made from low expansion Schott Optical Glass Company Zerodur.
