2. Checking Method
1) Turn the distance tube 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).
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.
Correct resolution
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 front lens holder block or rear lens holder block

5) After the checking is completed, turn the lamp switch of the lens test projector to OFF and cool the inside of the lens test projector,
then turn the fan switch to OFF.
