Chapter 10, Problem 1Q
Working with 3-D TEM often involves the difficult activity of mentally reconstructing a three-dimensional object from a series of two-dimensional sections of that object. Using serial-section TEM as a guide, from top to bottom, what would you expect would be the shapes of a series of two-dimensional slices through a cylinder resting on (1) its side, and (2) its end?

Consider a bi convex lens with radius of curvatures |R1| = 30 mm and |R2| = 180 mm, ct = 5 mm and glass is N-BK7. This is used as camera lens in order to image a man who is at 1 km away from the camera. We want to resolve 10 cm on his body. Assume that λ = 550 nm. Using zemax, determine the MTF value for the resolution of R = 80 lp / mm in image plane which is placed at paraxial focus. (Hint: First, find the diameter of the lens)
