In an effort to better understand the differences that can occur between theoretical and as-manufactured lens performance, show what happens at the sensor level, and how output from the sensor is visualized with different wavelengths and f/#s. Figures transition from theoretical to real world examples that include aberrations and lens fabrication errors. As is noted in MTF Curves and Lens Performance, the shorter the wavelength, the theoretically greater the performance ceiling of the imaging system. In recent years, blue LEDs have become dependable for increasing the performance of small pixel-equipped sensors.
