Table 1 Comparisons of the magnification M of both the blurring and clear images among the experimental data, the calculated data by using the F obtained by ZEMAX and the calculated data by using the F obtained by CST. While calculating the magnifications, we first get F from both ZEMAX and CST. Then, we calculate the magnifications of the images by using the paraxial ray-tracing formulae
