Based on what I have read, a collimator is a piece of scientific equipment that I could not begin to describe intelligently without looking it up again. (And I have looked it up to refresh my knowledge many times. )

In its most vague definition, a collimator takes a broad, diffuse light source and both narrows and aligns the directionality of the light. I flatter myself by thinking that is my mission--to take broad, seemingly unrelated information and align the bits and pieces to make a clearer picture.

Also, some of the letters appear in my actual name.
