Abstract

A scanning pentaprism system may be used as an absolute test for an optical flat. Such a system was built and used to test a 2-meter flat mirror. This system uses light from an autocollimator that is reflected from 2 pentaprisms to project reference beams of light onto the flat mirror. The light reflected from the mirror back through the pentaprisms provides information on low order optical aberrations in the flat mirror. We report results of the test on a 2-meter flat.
