2)
Attach the checking lens to the lens test projector, and set the equipments as shown in Fig.4-3-2.
3)
Turn the fan switch of the lens test projector to ON, then turn the lamp switch to ON.
Fig.4-3-2
4)
Turn the focus ring of the checking lens until the chart image projected on the screen is the sharpest at the center (y’=0).
5)
Set the plane mirror to the center of the projected image (y’= 0), and adjust the projector position so that the mirror reflects the light
to the center of the lens.

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 or 18) 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 or 18) is within the specification of the Table 4-3-2.

FLANGE BACK (f’F) CHECK/ADJUSTMENT
4-4-1. Flange Back (f’F) Check
Equipment
• 1000 mm Collimator
• Flange Back Tester
• A-mount Attachment
• Flange Back Gauge (43.50mm)
1. Preparations
1)
Set the equipments as shown in the Fig.4-4-1.
Fig.4-4-1
2)
Looking through the eyepiece lens, turn the eyepiece ring of the flange back tester so that cross line or scale in the view is the sharpest.
3)
Attach the flange back gauge (43.50mm) securely to the A-mount attachment and hold them together.
4)
Turn the focusing knob of the flange back tester so that fine scratches on the flange back gauge (43.50mm) is the sharpest.
Note:
Turn the knob in the direction of the arrow of Fig.4-4-2 for correct reading.
Fig.4-4-2
5)
Turn the scale ring of the dial gauge until the long pointer indicates “0”.
Note:
This position is the flange back (f’F) = 43.5 mm.
Memorize the position of short-pointer.

2. Checking Method
1)
Attach the checking lens to the flange back tester, and set the 1000 mm collimator.
Fig.4-4-3
2)
Set the focus ring of the checking lens to infinity end position while looking through the microscope, and align the optical axis to the
center of the chart image accurately.
3)
Turn the focus ring of the checking lens from near to infinity side until the chart image is the sharpest (red and green color areas are
equal on the chart *).
*: Position in which the color of collimator chart changes from green into red and come into focus.
Also check the optical axis aligns with the chart center. (Refer to Fig.4-4-4.)
Note:
Figure shows example. The cause depends on individual lens.
Fig.4-4-4
4)
Calculate the flange back (f'F) of the checking lens using the following formula, and check that the following specification is
satisfied.
If not, perform “4-4-2. Flange Back (f'F) Adjustment”.
Flange back (f'F) of the checking lens = (Flange back gauge) + (Number of short-pointer revolution) + (Reading of long-pointer)
Specification
Over infinity end: 45.10 to 45.13 mm
