Choice of best modulator operating conditions for photometric photoelectric microscopes and autocollimators

Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The formulas allow one to determine the optimal slit width and scan amplitude for a given system, which can provide sensitivities higher by 5.4–22.4% than those derived from the previously accepted optimal relation between these parameters as derived without allowance for diffraction.

  2. 2.

    The calculated points have only a small spread around the approximating straight lines, so (10) and (11) can be used for wide ranges in image width.

  3. 3.

    The zero-point sensitivity of such a device has a very broad peak, so the actual parameters do not have to correspond closely to the optimal ones.
