Modulation Transfer Function (MTF)

A measure of contrast as a function of spatial frequency. Defined as 100% at zero-frequency, MTF continuously declines with increasing spatial frequency to zero contrast at a theoretical maximum resolution frequency defined by the diffraction limit of the optical system.
