Abstract
THE image-forming properties of many types of lens have been measured in this laboratory, with particular reference to their suitability for use in television equipment such as cameras, film scanners, telerecorders, etc. The spatial frequency response of a lens is one of the most important characteristics to be determined; and the basic photoelectric methods of measuring this response function have been largely developed in Britain by Sproson1.
