Abstract

The lens, for example a zoom lens for SLR cameras, is used as a projection lens and projects on a wall the image of a bar pattern. The AMMD sensors are 5 CCD linear arrays (1024 pixels each)checking simultaneously MTF at center of field and at four positions at 3/4 of field on the diagonals of the image. The AMMD electronics allow very quick focussing of the image and fast measurement of the squarewave MTF of the lens. Typical response time is 50 ms when one CCD is used and 250 ms when 5 CCD are used. The AMMD includes automatic gain control, calibration of each pixel for whole gain range, smoothing of datas before computation of MTF. Main components of the device are Reticon CCD (EGG), preamplifiers, analog multiplexing, A/D conversion, 68 000 micro-processor for computation. Controls include selection of 1 to 5 CCD, recalibration and 5 two digits displays. An example of optical adjustment and measurement of a zoom lens will be given, showing the advantage of the AMMD when they are used in workshop for series production.
