ImageMaster® Afocal – Telescope Test Bench
For image quality testing of optical afocal systems TRIOPTICS has developed the new telescope test bench ImageMaster® Afocal. The horizontal measurement system is well suited for typical afocal samples like telescopes and riflescopes. With additional options and dedicated sample holders it is upgradeable for measurement of binoculars and spotting scopes.
In its standard configuration a wide range of parameters such as MTF or magnification is easily measured with the ImageMaster® Afocal. With its focusable collimator also specific measurements like parallax (free distance) can be performed easily and with little effort.
Key Features:
- Horizontal measurement system for measuring image quality of optical afocal Systems (e. g. riflescopes and binoculars)
- Measurement Process: manual or fully automated
- Measurement at infinite and finite conjugates
- ImageMaster® MTF Lab Software
Applications:
- MTF on-axis and off-axis
- Magnification
- Distortion
- Lateral chromatic aberration
- Longitudinal chromatic aberration
- Astigmatism
- Field curvature
- Parallax (Alignment check of reticle)
- Field of View; objective & subjective (Optional)
- Eyerelief (with optional autocollimator)

Upgrades & Accessories
In order to meet individual requirements, the test bench is available with various upgrades. The result are flexible configuration options for measurement of different specific parameters of optical afocal systems, for instance the subjective as well as the objective field of view. Another important parameter, especially for riflescopes and spotting scopes is the eyerelief. It rounds up the versatile measurement functionality of the ImageMaster® Afocal.
