HRC-I Plate Focus Analysis


HRC-I best focus, excluding amp_sf=3 data, at -1.398 mm +/- 0.039.
HRC-I best focus, using all data, at -1.273 mm +/- 0.026.

Plate Focus Images

These are the HRC-I plate focus images of AR Lac. Defocus values are -0.577, -0.824, -1.070, -1.313, -1.554, -1.793, -2.030, -2.264, & -2.496 mm.

These are the same images, filtered to exclude data with amp_sf values of 3. About 2/3 of the total data is rejected by this criteria.

AR Lac plate focus images again, with only amp_sf = 3 data displayed.


Focus Analysis Results

The data were analyzed with the standard focus software, described here. The version modified for use with the HRC is findFocus_hrc.pro; the current batch file used to run the software is focus_hrc_batch.pro.

The results of the plate focus analysis on the amp_sf filtered data are found here. Encircled energy and ACF plots are shown below. The best focus from the ACF fit is -1.398 mm +/- 0.039.
