Patent ID: 7209241

Claim:
Method of manufacturing an optical imaging system comprising: assembling the optical imaging system at a first location; determining, at the first location, wavefront aberrations which are caused by the imaging system, using a first measurement method; transporting the optical imaging system from the first location to the second location remote from the first location; determining wavefront aberrations which are caused by the imaging system after transporting the optical imaging system from the first location to a second location with the aid of a second measurement method; determining at least one first aberration parameter for the wavefront aberration on the basis of the first measurement method; determining at least one second aberration parameter from the wavefront aberration on the basis of the second measurement method using at least the one first aberration parameter which results from the first measurement method; adjusting the optical imaging system to adjust wavefront aberrations of the imaging system at the second location using the at least one second aberration parameter.
