tem_scherzer — OPTICS tem op

• Data kinds: none → table (an op determined by its arguments alone — it takes no image or data input)

• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.tem_scherzer(kv=300.0, cs_mm=2.7) (to call the implementation directly, import temsim; temsim.tem_scherzer(kv=300.0, cs_mm=2.7); from the registry, opsoptics.get("tem_scherzer"))

Usage

Scherzer defocus and point resolution (table).

> The detailed description below is the original text — the summary and the headings are translated.

2 つの定義を並べて返す(本によって違うので、どちらで比べたかを残す):

defocus_A = √(4/3 Cs λ)(古典の Scherzer 焦点、Williams & Carter / Reimer)

defocus_extended_A = 1.2 √(Cs λ)(Kirkland などの「拡張 Scherzer」)

point_resolution_A = その焦点での CTF の最初の零点の逆数(閉形式)。古典の焦点で 0.658 Cs^¼ λ^¾、拡張で 0.645 Cs^¼ λ^¾

point_resolution_formula_A = 0.66 Cs^¼ λ^¾(教科書の丸めた式)

正 = アンダーフォーカス。振幅コントラストは含めない(w = 0 の位相の CTF)。

Family-wide input contract (fail-closed)

Every optics op validates its input before computing (nothing slips through silently):

• Units are baked into the argument name — _mm / _um / _deg / _mrad. Confusing mm with µm does not crash; it yields a plausible-looking wrong answer, so the name prevents it. Nothing here guesses the unit from the magnitude.

• Strings raise ValueError — float('50') succeeds, so an unparsed configuration value would slip through as a length (measured: thin_lens('50', '200') returned a plausible 66.667 mm). bool is refused too, as the implicit promotion True == 1.

• complex / masked arrays raise ValueError (real-valued slots only; silently dropping the imaginary part or peeling off the mask is refused). NaN/Inf raises ValueError on every input.

• Division by zero and its relatives are refused by name: focal length 0, radius of curvature 0, refractive index <= 0, a fully opaque aperture (all zeros, so the normalisation is 0/0), a PSF whose sum is <= 0, a Stokes vector with S0 = 0, and an object sitting at the front focal point (the image is at infinity).

• Only two ops return a non-finite value, and both state it as a contract: depth_of_field returns far_mm = inf beyond the hyperfocal distance (that is what the hyperfocal distance means), and gaussian_beam returns wavefront_radius_mm = inf at the waist (the radius of curvature of a plane wavefront). Both also return a finite companion (far_is_infinite / curvature_per_mm). Any other silent NaN/Inf is detected internally and raises ValueError — "float64 overflowed" and "the answer is infinite" are different claims, so the first is never returned wearing the face of the second.

• Size caps: generated grids are capped by optics.MAX_GRID (4096); supplied fields/PSFs/apertures by optics.MAX_FIELD_ELEMENTS (2^24); ABCD element chains by optics.MAX_SYSTEM_ELEMENTS (1024); Zernike by MAX_ZERNIKE_TERMS (512) / MAX_ZERNIKE_ORDER (40) / MAX_ZERNIKE_BASIS (2^25). This closes, fail-closed, the paths where a small argument triggers a huge internal allocation (measured: n_max=40 × 4096² needs 108 GB).

• Physically impossible states are refused too: a Stokes vector with degree of polarisation > 1, negative transmittance, negative intensity, and invalid Zernike indices such as n-|m| odd.
