... Further testing, by covering a flight spare CCD with a 2 ? m pinhole grid in an opaque metallic mask and illuminating it with a flat field source, showed that even when a pinhole was centered over a pixel only about 70% of the light was detected in that pixel. ... Alternatively, at least in the V band, it can be modeled by convolving a simulated image by the following kernel, which gives the pixel response function averaged within pixels: . ... m pinhole grid test get worse at longer wavelengths. ...
