Image Science Ltd enhances MTF Testing and MTF Measurement solutions, delivering precision optical test equipment for research, development, and production.

Oxfordshire, UK - Image Science Ltd, a leading provider of optical test equipment, continues to enhance MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) testing and measurement solutions for research, development, and production environments. With over 30 years of expertise, the company delivers high-precision testing systems designed to evaluate and optimize lens performance across a wide range of industries, including aerospace, defense, imaging, and scientific research.

The Importance of MTF Testing in Optical Systems

MTF testing is a fundamental process in optical quality assurance, measuring how well a lens preserves contrast at different spatial frequencies. A high-performing lens maintains sharpness and clarity, which is essential for applications such as surveillance, remote sensing, and high-resolution imaging.

By assessing MTF, manufacturers can:

• Ensure lenses meet strict quality and performance standards.

• Identify and correct optical flaws before mass production.

• Optimize designs for enhanced imaging accuracy.

Advanced MTF Measurement Capabilities

Image Science Ltd offers state-of-the-art MTF testing solutions that extend beyond traditional contrast assessments. The company's equipment is capable of measuring multiple key optical parameters, including:

• Phase Transfer Function (PTF): Evaluates phase distortions affecting image quality.

• Effective Focal Length (EFL): Verifies the optical power of a lens.

• Flange Focal Length (FFL): Ensures precise lens-to-sensor alignment.

• Distortion & Vignetting: Detects geometric inaccuracies and light falloff.

• Chromatic Aberration: Identifies color fringing caused by wavelength dispersion.

• Field Curvature: Assesses focus variations across the image plane.

Comprehensive Testing for Visible and Infrared Optics

Image Science Ltd's solutions support testing across multiple spectral bands, ensuring accurate assessments for both visible and infrared (IR) optics. Their test benches can evaluate:

• Visible spectrum lenses (400-700nm) used in high-resolution cameras and scientific imaging.

• Infrared optics (NIR, SWIR, MWIR, LWIR) critical for thermal imaging, night vision, and defense applications.
