Abstract
A compensator (null-corrector) for testing aspheric optical surfaces is proposed, which enables (1) independent verification of optical elements and assembling of the compensator itself, and (2) ascertaining the compensator position in a control layout for a specified aspheric surface. The autocollimating design allows significant reducing difficulties associated with practical use of lens compensators.
