Abstract
A measuring apparatus for irradiating measuring light and for measuring optical performance of a target optical system includes a barrel for housing the target optical system, the barrel being rotatable around an optical axis of the target optical system, and an illumination optical system for introducing the measuring light into the barrel, the illumination optical system being movable along a direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the target optical system. The measuring apparatus controls an illumination area of the measuring light in the target optical system using a polar coordinate determined by a rotational angle of the barrel and a moving amount of the illumination optical system.
