- lens dimensions are between a few millimeters and a few centimeters.
- the tolerances on the design and manufacture of these lenses must be such that they do not disturb the wave surface to be analyzed. This does not present any particular difficulties for those skilled in the art, given the small opening of these lenses.

- This calibration is obtained from known images recorded during a preliminary calibration phase.

- Each secondary image is the image of the pupil of the optical device given by a particular lens. These secondary images are re-centered in the plane of the pupil.
