... Despite the wide spread use of the terms MTF, CTF, limiting resolution, minimum resolvable target, and contrast to describe CCD image system quality, the terms are often misused and their relations are little understood. ... The modulation transfer function (MTF) is a Fourier transform of the line spread function i.e. its equivalent as an integral sum of sine waves taken over the whole range of spatial frequencies. MTF by its Fourier nature can only be used to operate on sinusoidal frequencies. ...

... The plug-plates of SDSS project are responsible for locating the optical-fiber plugs spatially and for defining the plug tilt with respect to the surface of best focus. ... Previous attempts to match the SDSS plug-plates to the surface of best focus were conducted using only the bending fixture. The analyses performed indicated that by adding a central constraint to the plug-plate deformation process, the plates could be made to match the surface of best focus within an acceptable range of error. ...
