Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"</div><br>Dear all<br>
My name is Mauro and I have been working on gate since two weeks so far.<br>
gate is not very easy for me and I need to construct a pinhole
collimator geometry, but I can't understand how to write the volume
about the pinhole.<br>
Can anyone help me or give any general suggestion to me.<br>
Thank You very much<br>
Kind Regards<br>
Mauro<br></div></div></div></div></div></div>
