2. Checking Method

1)Turn the focus ring of the checking lens until the chart image projected on the screen is the sharpest at the center (y’=0).

2)Read the number of the smallest pitched lines at the center (y’= 0).

The number represents for lines per mm.

Saggital (S)

Meridional (M)

Fig.4-3-3

3)Turn the mount rotation ring of lens test projector until the projected image at a certain peripheral point (y’= 15) on the screen appears the most unsharp.

Read the number of the smallest pitched lines (both saggital and meridional: 3 lines) at the peripheral point.

Note: When reading the number of the smallest pitched lines, be careful of the spurious resolution.

Spurious resolution is the reversed image of 2 or 4 lines which appears on screen when focus is beyond maximum revolving power.

Do not confuse spurious resolution for the smallest pitched lines.

Correct resolution Spurious resolution

4)Check that the all readings (y’= 0, saggital (S) and meridional (M) at y’= 15) is within the specification of the Table 4-3-2.
