As for the information provided in the data-base of optical elements, the focus offsets corresponding to any element in the light path needs to be defined. The focus offsets for more than 70 filters have been measured, but still about 30 little used filters remain. Most of the offsets for special elements such as the calcite plates for polarimetry have already been measured.
