Measurement Spatial Resolution<br />

Measurement spatial resolution (IFOVmeas) is the spatial resolution of the<br />

minimum target spot size on which an accurate measurement can be made in<br />

lenns of its distance from the instrument. An example of a typical<br />

measurement spatial resolution specification would be "IFOVmeas = 3.5 mrad<br />

at 0.95 SRF.“ The 0.95 SRF refers to 95 percent slit response function test<br />

used to check measurement spatial resolution. This is described in detail in<br />

Chapter 4. The simple ex pression, D = αd, can again be used to estimate<br />

measurement spot size at the target plane from manufacturer's published<br />

data by substituting published measurement spatial resolution for α.<br />
