Product Description
  • Optical element material: soda-lime glass
  • Resolution: 2.4-80 lp/mm
  • Commonly used for testing imaging system resolution
The LBTEK NBS 1952 test target, also known as the NBS 25 test target, is used to reduce spurious resolution and prevent inaccurate test results. The line pairs on the NBS 1952 test target are arranged progressively from the periphery to the center, with three vertical or three horizontal lines forming one line set. It provides 48 line sets, divided into 24 different frequencies. The numbers marked in the pattern indicate the resolution of the adjacent horizontal and vertical line sets, making the test target symmetric about the diagonal from the top-left to the bottom-right. If the test target is scanned from left to right or top to bottom, the line frequency increases continuously until reaching the center and then decreases from the other side. Whether scanning horizontally or vertically, a single pass across the entire pattern will cover every frequency on the test target, allowing the resolution of the optical system to be determined with unidirectional motion. Additionally, LBTEK offers customization services for resolution test targets. For other requirements, please contact LBTEK Technical Support.

NBS 1952 Resolution test target
  • 24 different frequencies
  • Optional front or back illumination types
  • Crosshairs and concentric circles for alignment available

The LBTEK NBS 1952 test target progresses from the periphery to the center, providing 48 line sets divided into 24 different frequencies. The RTR1BA test target ranges from 2.4 to 80 line pairs per millimeter (one bright line and one dark line), while the RTS3DD test target ranges from 0.48 to 16 line pairs per millimeter (one bright line and one dark line). The NBS 1952 test target features a crosshair at the center measuring 610 µm in both length and width, along with two concentric circles with diameters of 250 µm and 500 µm for alignment purposes. The resolution test target includes both positive (bright field) and negative (dark field) resolution test targets. The positive resolution test target is made by depositing chromium on a soda-lime glass substrate, allowing light to pass through the non-patterned areas. The negative resolution test target, on the other hand, is created by depositing chromium on the substrate, enabling light transmission through the patterned areas.
