The 2024 is the metric version of the flagship instrument in our line of alignment telescopes.  It is designed specifically to make measurements of deviations from a reference line, and secondarily, to provide an extremely straight optical reference line for any number of alignment applications.  It has two built-in optical micrometers which measure at right angles to each other.  They allow measurement of lateral shifts perpendicularly from the line of sight, in both the horizontal and vertical directions.  The 2024 has a built-in autoreflection target on its objective lens and includes our model 508 autocollimation illumination unit which operates from 110-220VAC (photo below).

The 2024 may be purchased without the autoreflection target by specifying item number 2024-NAR.
