Abstract

Maximum intensity contrast has been used as a measure of lens defocus. A photodiode array under the control of 8085 microprocessor is used to measure the maximum intensity contrast and to position the lens for best focus. The lens is moved by a stepper motor under processor control at a speed of 350 to 500 steps/s. At this speed, focusing time was found to be between 5 and 8 s. Under coherent illuminating conditions, an accuracy of ± 50 μm has been achieved.
