or a

the collimator, follow the instructions in Procedure 9.
Procedure 9 Installing the Collimator

Note: Use of non-NKTP holders: we recommend to gently fix the collimator output
barrel using plastic screws instead of metal screws thereby minimizing the risk of
scratching the collimator.
Caution: Scratching the collimator may prevent it from fitting into the collimator in-
put receptacle of SuperK accessories.
