Measuring Field Curvature |
The standard OS200 does not
have a built-in tool for measuring field curvature.
However, it is still possible
to construct a manual plot of field curvature
using the OS200. The digital micrometer is used to
measure image shift at multiple field positions.
When
using the nodal slide, the microscope remains
parallel to the chief ray. This complicates
the geometry by introducing a 1/cos term. Contact
WRD for a sample Excel spreadsheet which shows
how to compensate for this effect.
Field
curvature can also be measured with the optional
off-axis collimator mount.
