22、s for basic characteristics3 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 14132-1 apply.4 General considerationsThe veiling glare test methods are generally described in ISO 9358:1994. ISO 9358:1994 deals with arbitrary optical instruments and contai
23、ns two basic approaches to measuring the veiling glare, namely integral (or black patch) method and analytical (or glare spread function) method.For terrestrial telescopes with which this part of ISO 14490 deals, the black patch method is more adequate while the glare spread function might prove to
24、be better for astronomical telescopes. For the moment, consideration in this part of ISO 14490 is given only to the black patch method. If need of measuring the glare spread function arises, the reference shall be made directly to appropriate clauses of ISO 9358:1994.From the classification given in
25、 ISO 9358:1994, Clause 3, the case where both the object and the image are at infinity will usually apply to telescopic systems. Clauses 6 and 7 give detailed and more specific descriptions of the general test method given in ISO 9358:1994, 4.1 and of test conditions given in ISO 9358:1994, 5.1.INTE

27、 of the illuminance of the image of the white background.The veiling glare of an optical instrument is determined by the ratio of the illuminance, E1, of the image of a black surface within a white illuminated wide surface to the illuminance, E2, of an image of a totally white surface.SEE=12(1)NOTE
28、In both cases, the white surface ensures a homogenous distribution of the illumination across the whole entrance pupil of the test specimen.6 Test arrangement6.1 GeneralThe measurement set-up consists of an integrating sphere, an object-side collimator, the test specimen mounting, the limiting stop,
29、 the image-side collimator, and the measurement and evaluation unit.See Figures 1 and 2.Key1 black object simulator 6 object-side collimator lens 11 filter2 selectable segments 7 slewing point I 12 image-side collimator lens3 integrating sphere 8 test specimen 13 measuring stop4 baffle 9 slewing poi

32、 source 10 limiting stop 15 indicatoraThe measurement and evaluation unit consists of the limiting stop, filter, image-side collimator lens, measuring stop, radiation detector, and indicator.Figure 2 Test arrangement for off-axis measurement (schematic)6.2 Integrating sphereThe integrating sphere sh
33、ould have a diameter 15 times the diameter of the entrance pupil of the test specimen, but at least 1 m.It has two opposite openings. In the first opening, the collimating lens is inserted. In the second opening, removable circular elements adapted to the interior surface of the sphere are inserted
34、to act as white and black reference surfaces.The white reference surface is composed of a disk that entirely fills the second opening in the sphere. The black reference surface is composed of a disk with an aperture of the desired diameter (i.e. an annulus) that is fitted into the second opening in
35、the sphere. It is followed by a light trap outside the sphere. The luminance of the light trap shall be less than 0,1 % of the luminance of the illuminated interior surface of the sphere.NOTE See Annex A for background information about the black patch method.The interior surface of the sphere and t
36、he annular and circular elements shall be white and opaque. The reflectance across the whole spectral range from 380 nm to 780 nm should be at least 85 %.The light source shall emit a constant radiant flux. The radiant flux shall not change more than 1 % during the measurement of one pair of values.
37、 The light source shall correspond to a black body source with a colour temperature between 2 800 K and 3 200 K.6.3 Object-side collimatorFor the purpose of a collimator, an achromatic lens with a minimum f-number of 10 (i.e. maximum relative aperture 1:10) is appropriate, but the aperture shall exc
38、eed 1,2 times the diameter of the objective lens of the test specimen.The focal length of the collimator and the interior diameter of the sphere shall be identical. All glass-air surfaces need an antireflection coating. ISO 2014 All rights reserved 3BS ISO 14490-6:2014ISO 14490-6:2014(E)The object-s
39、ide collimator is being fixed in the opening so that the collimator with its frame closes the interior of the sphere and the lens is located outside the sphere.6.4 Test specimen mountingThe test specimen mounting shall be constructed in a way that the combination of the test specimen and the measure
40、ment and evaluation unit can be adjusted and held stable and turned around the entrance pupil for off-axis measurements.Additionally, the test specimen mounting shall be constructed in a way that the measurement and evaluation unit can be turned around the exit pupil for off-axis measurements.6.5 Li
41、miting stopIn the plane of the test specimens exit pupil, a limiting stop of 8 mm diameter shall be attached.NOTE 1 This limiting stop prevents light which would not reach the observers eye from entering the radiation detector.NOTE 2 A limiting stop of 8 mm diameter is assumed to match the eyes maxi
42、mum pupil diameter.6.6 Measurement and evaluation unitThe measurement and evaluation unit consists of the limiting stop, the filter, the image-side collimator, the radiation detector, and the indicator.The image-side collimator (achromatic lens with antireflection coatings) images the white or black
43、 reference surface at the surface of the radiation detector.It shall be positioned directly behind the test specimens exit pupil. The clear aperture shall be at least 10 mm.At the image surface in front of the radiation detector, a measuring stop with a diameter of 20 % to 50 % of the diameter of th
44、e image of the black surface is arranged.The filter serves to convert the spectral sensitivity curve of the detector to the photopic response curve of the human eye for the radiation source used.The size and aperture of the radiation detector shall be sufficient to collect all radiation which is tra
45、nsmitted by the measuring stop.7 Procedure7.1 Adjustment of the measurement set-upThoroughly clean the optical surfaces of the collimators and of the test specimen.The size of the black surface corresponds to a 1 object-side field of view; this is valid for test specimens with at least 2 field of vi
46、ew. If the test specimen has a smaller field of view, then the object-side angle of the black surface should correspond to about half the test specimens field of view.Attach the test specimen as closely as possible to the object-side collimator and centre it to the optical axis. This ensures that th
47、e light enters the test specimen with the maximum solid angle.7.2 Determination of resultsFirst, measure the illuminance in the image of the white surface, then measure the illuminance in the image of the black surface.4 ISO 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO 14490-6:2014ISO 14490-6:2014(E)For the deter
48、mination of the veiling glare index of off-axis object points, slew the test specimen around the entrance pupil and slew the measurement and evaluation unit around the exit pupil.For the measurement off-axis, object points of 0,5 and 0,7 of half the field of view shall be chosen.Because the veiling
49、glare index of non-rotationally-symmetric erecting systems (prisms) is not equal at corresponding azimuths, determine the maximum value.8 Presentation of resultsThe veiling glare index, S, is expressed as a percentage.The measurement results shall be presented in tabular and in graphical form, as follows.a) In the presentation in tabular form, the measurements, and the calculated values of the veiling glare index (see Note) shall be given; the values shall be expressed as a percentage to one decimal digit.b) I
