Ken, I think there is a description in S&T about 82 or 84. It isn't cpmplicated. You use only one sharp edge over the light (I use a frosted led). The reflectio produced the other sharp edge producing a slit. However the idea is to get your eyr (without poking it) as close to the source as possible. I try to keep it about 1/4 above the source. We also use the same source as a Ronch itester.
