On the Evaluation of Optical Image Quality

In order to obtain a high quality objective or optical system,it is of vital importance in theory and practice of the optical design that the designing results should satisfy the evaluator of the image quality accorded with the use requirements.In this paper,several objectives and optical systems designed by the anther and manufactured since 1978 are taken as the examples to discuss the adaptation between image quality and the receiver;the scheme of the optimal equilibrium of abberations and the principle of comprehensive consideration for the individual abberation.The designing results and their evaluation of the above-mentioned objectives and optical systems are cited.
