Is there a size change when bringing a parallel collimator close to an object - No, since the holes are paralell there will be no effect How does change in distance effect the resolution of a parallel hole collimator - Increased distance =worse resolution Advantage and disadvantage of a diverging collimator - Advantage: increased imaged area Disadvantage: minified image
