Technical Specifications

The USAF1951 pattern consists of groups of three horizontal and three vertical bars, with each group containing six elements. Each successive element is approximately 12% smaller than the previous (factor of 2^(1/6)), and each successive group is half the size of the previous group. This standardized progression allows for precise resolution measurements across a wide range of optical systems.
