Electronic Still Picture Resolution Chart (ISO 12233)
The TE170 chart is designed to measure resolution of still cameras. It contains resolution wedges up to 2000 lines per picture heigt. Furthermore it contains slanted edges for SFR measurements.
*Note – ISO12233 was updated in 2014 and chart TE170 is no longer compliant with this standard. For a current chart in accordance to the updated standard, please use chart TE252.
Additionally, slanted edge and sinusoidal Siemens star are both methods defined in the current standard. For more precise slanted edge measurements, we recommend chart TE275. For more in-depth Siemans star measurements, TE253 or TE268 are recommended.

Chart sizes
The test charts are available in the sizes listed below. Please note that some charts cannot be manufactured in all sizes due to technical reasons. Please do not hesitate to ask for additional information.
During production, specific regions of test charts are measured to qualify the production process or to create individual reference data accompanying a test chart additionally. Measured regions can be color or gray tones.
