Abstract:

This paper discusses methods of monitoring the image quality and the main optical-engineering and light characteristics of objectives with an entrance-pupil diameter of up to 50 mm when a measurement is made from a finite distance. The use of new design solutions has made it possible to combine the measurement of both optical-engineering and photometric parameters in one laboratory apparatus.
