Covers Ronchi, Foucault, and diffraction tests, plus a WHOLE lot more. There are chapters on bench-testing and how to identify problems in the individual optical components (primary and corrector, for example), and also more advanced sections for ambitious ATMs wanting to learn secondary hand-matching procedures, as done my the master opticians in the big shops.
