Progressive Lenses

Progressive lenses (PL) are widely used to correct presbyopia, a visual dysfunction that affects most of the population aged over 40 years. The methods used to evaluate the optical quality of these lenses are mainly based on ray-tracing and optical bench testing. Psychophysical studies based on measurements of the contrast sensitivity function of human subjects also exist. However, all these methods exhibit important limitations because, in general, they do not take into account the optics of the eye. One of the objective techniques that permits evaluation of the retinal image in-vivo is the double pass method (Santamaria et al, 1987 Journal of the Optical Society of America A4 1109 – 1114). It has been possible to study the retinal image quality for different correcting optical systems, such as contact lenses, with this technique (Torrents et al, 1996 Perception25 Supplement, 112 – 113). We studied the retinal image quality of the optical system formed by the eye and a progressive lens. The retinal image quality, characterised by the modulation transfer function (MTF), was measured for different observers as a variety of lines of sight that covered a lens diameter of 50 mm. We show the MTF variation as a function of the lens region and the capacity of this technique to characterise these optical systems.

In the observation of a thick specimen by means of a transmission electron microscope, the intensity of electrons passing through the objective lens aperture is greatly reduced. So that the image is almost invisible. In addition to this fact, it have been reported that a chromatic aberration causes the deterioration of the image contrast rather than that of the resolution. The scanning electron microscope is, however, capable of electrically amplifying the signal of the decreasing intensity, and also free from a chromatic aberration so that the deterioration of the image contrast due to the aberration can be prevented. The electrical improvement of the image quality can be carried out by using the fascionating features of the SEM, that is, the amplification of a weak in-put signal forming the image and the descriminating action of the heigh level signal of the background. This paper reports some of the experimental results about the thickness dependence of the observability and quality of the image in the case of the transmission SEM.
