The active collimator with only 4 wedges installed. This was taken on the bench at JLab.
The spare wedges provided by FSU.
The fifth wedge has been installed.
Closer shot of the fifth wedge. Notice how the wedge covers the hole slightly. This was noticed and fixed during the assembly process.
The sixth wedge has been installed in the active collimator.
The inner wedges have been adjusted to prevent blockage of the central hole.
The seventh wedge of the collimator has been installed.
All wedges have been installed in the active collimator.
