Automating Lab and Manufacturing Processes
For many production departments tasked with balancing manufacturing outcomes with product design requirements, the process can be cumbersome, lagged in the past by human quality control and the need to correlate results with partner tests.
Integrating image quality software with automated testing equipment in the lab and manufacturing enables maximized efficiency and enhanced quality standards throughout the development cycle.
Join us on Wednesday, March 1, 2017, for our webinar, “Automating Lab and Manufacturing Processes” to learn how to raise quality standards while maximizing efficiency.
Testing a macro lens using Checkerboard and Micro Multi-slide
Imatest’s Checkerboard module is our new flagship module for automated analysis of sharpness, distortion and chromatic aberration from a checkerboard (AKA chessboard) pattern. The big benefit of using the checkerboard is that there are looser framing requirements than with other kinds of test targets. While checkerboard lacks the color and tone analysis provided by SFRplus and eSFR ISO, these features are not available on the high precision chrome on glass substrate, so the checkerboard is the optimal pattern for this test.
