ABSTRACT:
The Foucault knife-edge test has been traditionally employed for testing a monolithic imaging device, for example, a mirror, to ascertain its characteristics, for example, whether or not it is a source of optical aberrations. The present invention, in contrast to the traditional Foucault employment, discloses a Foucault testing of a segmented optic, thereby significantly extending the utility of the Foucault test.
