Surprisingly large variation in objects
We receive and test a variety of samples, and we find that there is quite a large variation in the quality of the samples. For example, 0.1% distortion is 1 pixel distortion per 1000 pixels. 1 million pixel camera is 1000 x 1000 pixels, so 0.1% distortion is 1 pixel distortion [...].
