Abstract
In this work we report the image quality analysis of an antique microscope objective from ca 1850 by using a non-contact technique based on a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor. The method and the experiment are described, and results are fully discussed. The technique provides useful and interesting tools for colour image formation process simulations. Application of this work for educational purposes is also commented.
