Abstract

Tight tolerances of the elements are not enough to assure the required performance of high resolution wide field optical imaging systems. Two ways are possible to overcome this problem: Measurement of all element parameters and computer aided assembling (CAA)--or iteration cycles of system adjustment based on system performance measurements. But in some cases also each of these ways alone is not enough to fulfill all performance requirements. The authors developed a method to combine both opportunities. This method comprises new evaluation methods, CAA-software, high accuracy measurement equipment and new methods to control element positioning by adjustment.
