The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through isO technicalcommittees.Eachmemberbodyinterestedinasubjectforwhichatechnicalcommitteehasbeen International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/lEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (IsO 3334:1989), which has been technically revised. anization for Stand zation'ghts reserved ili ISO 3334:2006(E) Introduction Micrographic systems vary in their ability to record fine detail such as alphanumeric characters or closely spaced lines. The method specified in this International Standard involves the measurement of the ability of a given objective, photosensitive material and processing combination to reproduce the image in fine detail and therefore to be able to be applied to define and control this aspect of image quality. Since microrecording systems can be operated close to limits of legibility, resolution testing provides a image. IsO 3334 describes a method of testing resolution that employs the IsO resolution test chart No. 2, in which the test patterns and their arrangement are shown in Figures 1 and 2. Attention should be taken when referencing this International Standard in other standards. Some countries do not use this International Standard or they use alternative standards (such as IsO 446) ISO2006-All rightsreserved ISO 3334:2006(E) INTERNATIONAL STANDARD Micrographics IsO resolution test chart No. 2 Description and use 1 Scope ThisInternationalStandardspecifiesamethodofdeterminingresolutionbymeasuringtheminimumsizeof detail recognizable in a processed microform.
