With Pro-Star test patterns focal spot size can be determined by observing the regions of blurring which occur when the pattern is radiographed by an x-ray source of finite dimensions. Radiation from different areas of the focal spot will cause a periodic blurring of the pattern die to penumbra effects. Knoweldge of the geometric factors, and the distance from the center of the pattern to the region where blurring occures will permit the calculation of the focal spot size with the same accuracy as measurements made with a pinhole camera.
