The modulation transfer function, or MTF, is a parameter used to evaluate the performance of a lens. MTF provides a quantitative and standardized way to characterize optical systems, so the metric is used by optical designers and microscopists alike to compare lenses and determine the ideal one for an imaging system. Optical MTF data is used during the design of a range of instruments, including DNA sequencers, cell analyzers, slide scanners, and industrial inspection equipment. To help assist the optical design process, this white paper will explore MTF in detail and explain the different ways it can be used.
