Stuart Singer of Schneider Optics, Inc. discusses how to understand the modulation transfer function (MTF) with respect to lens performance, while avoiding complex math such as fast Fourier transforms. The MTF is often the most important aspect of a lens because it shows how well a lens is able to reproduce the object within its view. Singer shares the steps that are needed to begin selecting a proper lens that meets specific imaging and system requirements. Finally, he details which lenses are appropriate for various imaging systems.
Who should attend:
Optical engineers and all those working with optics who are interested in gaining further understanding of the modulation transfer function. Engineers, researchers, and R&D scientists who work with optical design, lens selection, cameras, machine vision, microscopy, and astronomy. Professionals who purchase lenses and optical components.
