Summary
In this paper we describe a new approach to the analysis of scanning optical imaging systems which uses singular function expansions, rather than Fourier optics, to update the well-known low-aperture treatment of Hopkins of 1979 (J. Opt. Soc. Am. 69:4–24). This new approach can also be used to update the widely used theory of optical transfer functions for general imaging systems at arbitrary numerical apertures.
