Abstract
A scanner comprises an electromagnetic wave source; a collimator positioned to alter the electromagnetic waves emitted from the electromagnetic wave source into an electromagnetic beam; and a detector positioned to measure one or more levels of electromagnetic energy of the electromagnetic beam, wherein a collimator element is spatially adjustable in at least one axis via one or more adjusting mechanisms to change the one or more levels of electromagnetic energy measured the detector.
