Centration Measurement

Minimization of imaging errors

Centration testing is an important step to ensure high quality and precision in manufacturing optical systems. Correct centering of the lenses is important to minimize aberrations and achieve a clear, sharp image. The functional principle of the centration error measurement is based on the comparison of measured values. The measured values for the position of the lenses in relation to the optical axis are determined and compared with the target values. If necessary, a corresponding correction can be made.
