supplied with the X-Ray tube (do not rely on an inscribed mark on the tube
housing).
Note: The collimator will not perform properly unless the focal spot to upper
swivel ring distance is 2-7/16” (2.44 inches, 62 mm) +/- 1/32” (.031 inches, 1
mm). Be sure to include any permanent mounting plates in the focal spot
to port boss distance stated in the tube manufacturer’s data.
Note: The Linear MC150-C is designed to be used with a lead diaphragm or cone
in the plastic port of the X-Ray tube.
If it is found that lead diaphragms or cones require removal or modification,
consult the factory.
