Hi,

I do not know whether it really works or it's just me who belives that it certainly should.
I've found a simple way to collimate a laser collimator. I just turn it on, put it on a mirror in a dark bathroom and then it's quite easy to collimate. It takes no more than a couple of minutes and most of the time is spent on finding screws heads in darkness :-)

cheers,

Michael
