It is also recommended to use a square with side lengths equal to the shorter side of the rectangle. Alternatively, using total reflection in a 45° prism as a reference; source image and receiver apertures are circular with an angular diameter of 3.44° ± 0.23° each (1.5 mm ± 0.1 mm at 25.4 mm focal length)

• ISO 7668 1986
