Tecomet Grid #1
Material:   Molybdenum
Pitch:   34 microns
Slit width:   15 microns
Total thickness:   1.2 mm
Layer thickness:   15 microns
No. of layers:   75
Active area:   9 cm diameter
Aspect ratio:   >50:1
Second of two identical grids fabricated by Thermo Electron Tecomet in Woburn, MA.
Finest, high-aspect-ratio X-ray collimator ever made.
Provides modulation to X-ray energies in excess of 100 keV.
Allows imaging on HESSI with an angular resolution of 2 arcseconds.
Picture shows circular active area with fiducial and mounting features in
the integral rim.
Direction of slits is revealed by the white bar at 45º resulting from light
transmitted from below through the ~1º opening angle of each slit.
