Medical Definition of Collimating lens

1. A lens used to produce a collimated beam from a light source. With a true point source on the axis the beam would be an axial tube of parallel rays With practical sources having real area the beam will be a diverging cone of parallel rays from each light point, this beam still has special properties and can be collected again by a good lens.
