ImageMaster® Afocal

Image quality testing for telescopes, riflescopes, binoculars and spotting scopes

Afocal optics, such as those used in riflescopes, are often still tested today using purely visual test procedures. The results are therefore based on the subjective assessment of the tester and thus the repeatability of the measurement results is not guaranteed. Due to the multitude of determining factors, subjective quality testing often reaches its limits even among the most experienced professionals.

With the ImageMaster Afocal® optical afocal systems like telescopes, riflescopes and binoculars are tested in terms of functionality and image quality with a variety of specific optical parameters.

Precision

Does it really make sense to rely solely on subjective quality assessments in the field of afocal optics, where maximum precision is required? Numerous parameters such as chromatic aberrations or knowledge of the exact magnification are decisive factors for quality assessment. The precise measurement of these parameters is an essential precondition for perfect functionality.

Flexibility

The ImageMaster® Afocal telescope test bench is designed for testing the image quality of afocal samples such as telescopes and riflescopes. Options and suitable sample holders allow the measurement of binoculars and spotting scopes.

Operator independent

The horizontal measurement device has been specially developed for precise and automated measurement of the image quality (MTF and further parameters) of afocal optics. The image quality is determined objectively and thus operator-independently.

Upgrades

In order to meet individual requirements, the test bench is available with various upgrades. The result are flexible configuration options for measurement of different specific parameters of optical afocal systems, for instance the subjective as well as the objective field of view. Another important parameter, especially for riflescopes and spotting scopes is the eyerelief. It rounds up the versatile measurement functionality of the ImageMaster® Afocal. Additional options and sample holders allow the measurement of binoculars and spotting scopes. x
