Abstract
An improved method of measuring spatial coherence is described and some sources of measurement errors are discussed. Partial coherence in the image plane of an optical system is discussed and results of coherence measurements are given that demonstrate the scaling of the coherence function for coherence intervals large compared to the diameter of the Airy disk and the limiting value for the coherence interval equal to the diameter of the Airy disk. The application of these results to microdensitometry is discussed and results of coherence measurements in the source plane of currently-used classical microdensitometers are given.
