How To

The 8-bit intensity values ${\displaystyle I}$ of this image were computed by the following formula:

${\displaystyle I(r)=COS({\frac {r^{2}}{5120}})\cdot 127+128}$

where ${\displaystyle r}$ is the distance to the image center in pixels.

The image has been computed with IDL (Interactive Data Language from www.rsinc.com ). The source code is provided here. Copy it into a file named "Zoneplatecosinus.pro" and execute it with IDL.

 PRO ZONEPLATECOSINUS
   ; Pixel size of the image
   siz=1000
 
   ; Coordinate array
   xc = LINDGEN(siz,siz)
   yc = xc / siz
   xc = TEMPORARY(xc) MOD siz
 
   ; Distances to center of array
   d = SQRT((FLOAT(xc)-siz/2.)^2+(FLOAT(yc)-siz/2.)^2)
   ; The image of the zone-plate
