The patent pending extension for ground prisms for the GONIOMAT M5/M10 Goniometers allows the measurement of prism angles with a fine grinding / roughness of up to Rq = 1.0 µm and a measurement uncertainty of less than 10 arcsec. The achievable accuracy and measurability of the test specimen depends on its surface size, and…
The ELCOMAT® 3000 electronic autocollimator is the flagship ELCOMAT® model. With a very high accuracy and large measurement range, it is the instrument of choice for those who require the best in angle measurement, in production or the laboratory.
The ELCOMAT® HR electronic autocollimator offers the highest accuracy available in non-contact angle measurement. While the angular measurement range is smaller than that of other autocollimators, its extremely high accuracy makes it the reference instrument of choice for many national metrology institutes, aerospace companies, and more.
The ELCOMAT® Vario N is a versatile electronic autocollimator, able to be fitted with objective tubes of many focal lengths. With this ability to be adapted to a wide variety of applications, the Vario N is an inexpensive and flexible alternative to the ELCOMAT® 3000 and the ELCOMAT® HR.
Adapting lenses focus the image of a reticle onto a camera chip. The magnification of the image is determined by the focal length of the adapting lens, the focal length of the autocollimator eyepiece, and the size of the camera chip. Different magnifications give different fields of view, and are appropriate for different applications.
Visual autocollimators measure the angle of optically flat (1/4 wave or better), reflective surfaces in arc seconds by viewing a graduated reticle through an eyepiece.

Any of the Möller-Wedel objective tubes can be fitted with an illuminator and reticle to create a collimator. With infinity focus or adjustable focus the collimator can be part of an optical testing system in conjunction with a telescope, or lens bench.

The alignment telescope is a precision instrument for the alignment of objects on a reference line defined by the line of sight, or optical axis of the telescope.
The Camera Testing Instrument III-45 operates on a unique autocollimation principle. It is characterised by high precision, particularly wide measuring range and ease of use.
Dioptometers (also referred to as dioptre telescopes) are most often used to calibrate or measure the diopter adjustment of eyepieces found on telescopes, binoculars, cameras, microscopes, and endoscopes. Dioptometers can be adapted to other applications as well, and can even be used as a short focal length collimator by replacing the eyepiece with illumination. Dioptometers are available with different measurement ranges and magnifications, please view the catalog for more info.
The GONIOMAT M is a semiautomatic goniometer with robust, innovative, and easy to use software. This instrument is perfect for quickly and easily measuring the geometry of prisms, polygons, wedges, angle gauges, and more. The GONIOMAT M series comes in two levels of accuracy:
GONIOMAT M5: 1.5 arcsec
GONIOMAT M10: 2.5 arcsec
Also available as GONIOMAT M5 XL, for measuring large systems and parts.
