Flat field correction of objectives

Hey everybody,

I was wondering if there is a simple answer to this question. I am looking for data regarding the quality and/or efficacy of optical abberation corrections in various types of miroscope objectives. Particularly, I am interested in the linearity of the magnification from the central optical axis to the extremes of the field of view of objectives as well as flat field corrections. Obviously this will vary between different objective classes and wavelengths, but I can’t seem to find any hard data on magnification distortions across a field of view for any objectives.

Does anyone know of a good source for these types of data, or of an approved method of measuring these distortions, if any?

Thanks
