ISO/DIS 14490-6
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.
ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.ISO 14490-6 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 172, Optics and optical instruments, Subcommittee
SC 4, Telescopic systems.ISO 14490 consists of the following parts, under the general title Optics and optical instruments — Test methods
for telescopic systems:¾ Part 1: Test methods for basic characteristics
¾ Part 2: Test methods for binocular systems
¾ Part 3: Test methods for telescopic sights
¾ Part 4: Test methods for astronomical telescopes
¾ Part 5: Test methods for transmittance
¾ Part 6: Test methods for veiling glare index
¾ Part 7: Test methods for limit of resolution
Annex A of this part of ISO 14490 is for information only.

Part 6:
Test methods for veiling glace index
1 Scope
This part of ISO 14490 specifies the test methods for the determination of the veiling glare index of telescopic
systems and observational telescopic instruments.2 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this part of ISO 14490. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications
do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this part of ISO 14490 are encouraged to investigate the
possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated
references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of IEC and ISO maintain
registers of currently valid International Standards.ISO 9358:1994, Optics and optical instruments — Veiling glare of image forming systems — Definitions and
methods of measurementISO 14132—1: , Optics and optical instruments — Vocabulary for telescopic systems — Part 1: General terms and
alphabetical indexes of terms in ISO 14132.ISO 14490—1: , Optics and optical instruments — Test methods for telescopic systems — Part 1: Test methods
for basic characteristics3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this part of ISO 14490 the terms and definitions given in ISO 14132-1 apply.
4 GeneralThe veiling glare test methods are generally described in ISO 9358:1994. ISO 9358:1994 deals with arbitrary
optical instruments and contains two basic approaches to measuring the veiling glare, namely integral (or black
patch) method and analytical (or glare spread function) method.For terrestrial telescopes that this part of ISO 14490 deals with, the black patch method is more adequate while the
glare spread function may prove to be better for astronomical telescopes. For the moment consideration in this part
of ISO 14490 is given only to the black patch method. If need of measuring the glare spread function arises the
reference should be made directly to appropriate clauses of ISO 9358:1994.1) To be published.

From the classification in clause 4 of ISO 9358:1994 the case where both the object and the image are at infinity
will usually apply to telescopic systems. The clauses below give detail...
