2. Checking Method
1)
Turn the focus ring of the checking lens until the chart image projected on the screen is the sharpest at the center (y’=0).
2)
Read the number of the smallest pitched lines at the center (y’= 0).
Fig.4-3-3
3)
Turn the mount rotation ring of lens test projector until the projected image at a certain peripheral point (y’= 15) on the screen
appears the most unsharp.
Read the number of the smallest pitched lines (both saggital and meridional: 3 lines) at the peripheral point.
Note:
When reading the number of the smallest pitched lines, be careful of the spurious resolution.
Spurious resolution is the reversed image of 2 or 4 lines which appears on screen when focus is beyond maximum revolving
power.
Do not confuse spurious resolution for the smallest pitched lines.
Fig.4-3-4
4)
Check that the all readings (y’= 0, saggital (S) and meridional (M) at y’= 15)  is within the specification of the Table 4-3-2.
When the specification is not satisfied, perform the following procedure.
• Replace the 1 group lens block, 2 group lens block and 3 group lens block.
