Kern DKM2-AC with Built-in bright-line autocollimation eyepiece

Kern DKM2-AC

Kern DKM2-A with Build in bright-line auto-collimation eyepiece. Auto-collimation is an optical procedure in which a projected image of a cross–hair is reflected back upon itself. The technique is advantageously employed when small changes in direction or inclination are to be detected or measured. It is very well suited for precision alignment and for innumerable control problems. Kern bright-line autocollimation eyepiece has clear reflected image. The best instrument for working on high precision alignment.
