How to select the suitable collimator filter?

Collimator filters on X axis (horizontal axis) make the light parallel on x axis, which improves the inspection of vertical edges. Instead, collimator filters on Y axis (vertical axis) make the light parallel on y axis, which improves the inspection of horizontal edges.

X and Y axis are identify on backlight diagrams with the symbol below:

In order to distinguish them, collimator filters are marked with a notch if they are on X axis and with two notches if they are on Y axis. In order to set them up correctly the notches must be placed next to input power supply.
