Abstract

The presented method allows for the calculation—at the stage of the design of the objective—of the tolerances for technological errors that cause decentering of the lens components of the objective. The calculation is performed on the basis of the required values for image aberrations, the optical scheme, the design of the objective, and the types of laws of error scatter considering production conditions.
