Influence of Primary Coma and Astigmatism upon the Low-Contrast Photographic Resolving Power of a Camera Lens

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The decrease in low-contrast photographic resolving power of a 20-inch focal length f/5.5 camera lens due to the introduction of primary coma and astigmatism was investigated and compared. The decrease is of the same order of magnitude for both aberrations, the resolving power being halved on introducing less than ten wavelengths.
