Rotational modulation collimators (or RMCs) are a specialization of the , an imaging device invented by . Devices of this type create images of high energy X-rays (or other radiations that cast shadows). Since high energy X-rays are not easily focused, such optics have found applications in various instruments. RMCs selectively block and unblock X-rays in a way which depends on their incoming direction, converting image information into time variations. Various mathematical transformations can then reconstitute the image of the source.

A more recent satellite that used RMCs wasRHESSI.
