There are two ways to insert masks and apertures into a 3DOptix optical system. The first is to create a CAD object, custom or downloaded from a manufacturer’s website, or to upload an image in .png format. For this application, we will upload an image using the ADD USER-DEFINED OBJECT option from the drop-down in the 3D viewer. This is the simpler method.
From here we want to upload an image of the mask or aperture we want to include. We will choose a few different masks to include and the first will be the USAF 1951 target. We will change MAJOR DIMENSION HALF SIZE to 5mm to match the light source of the optical system. From Here we want to upload an image of the mask or aperture we want to include.

To simulate a non-ideal (real world) optical system imaging the masks we want to include aberrations to the system. To do this we will make the curved surface of lens 2 a ZERNICKE FRINGE SAG surface. We will keep the NORMALIZED RADIUS at 12.5 mm and change TERM 4 which is defocus to 0.05 mm.
Next, we will insert the dot matrix target, reset all terms, and change the horizontal coma, TERM 5, to 0.1 mm.
Now we will look at the line target with some amount of spherical aberration. First resetting all terms, then changing TERM 12 to 0.1 mm to introduce the aberration.
