				Does anybody have any opinions about this animal or interest in it?
 
 
Does anybody (besides me) have one?

				how big is it?   Most collimators I know are 3 meters long, and weigh about as much as a small horse. _________________ "In order to invent, you need a good imagination and a lot of junk" Thomas Edison |

				Hi Lee,
 
 
I have one sitting on end on the floor and the top is about eye level.
 
 
Optically it's a 48" collimator with a U-shaped optical path, accomplished using two first-surface mirrors set at 45°.
 
 
If you need more accurate info I can pull the manual.
