Key Takeaways Cylindrical lens performance depends on surface profile accuracy, curvature radius precision, and transmitted wavefront quality.  Utilizing a mix of contact profilometry for high-roughness parts and non-contact ZYGO interferometry for ultra-high-precision (PV 0.05λ) ensures compliance with ISO 10110-5 standards.  Beyond geometry, wavefront sensing and MTF testing are critical to verifying imaging resolution and contrast.  […]
