What Does MTF Stand For?
MTF stands for Modulation Transfer Function
The Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) is a quantitative measure used to evaluate the performance of imaging systems. It characterizes the system's ability to reproduce various levels of detail or modulation in an image as a function of spatial frequency. MTF is essential in assessing the sharpness and clarity of optical systems, such as cameras and microscopes, by indicating how contrast is maintained across different spatial frequencies.
