[[File:MTF example graph.jpg|thumb|right|310px|The '''MTF''' data versus spatial frequency is normalized by fitting a sixth order polynomial to it, making a smooth curve. The 50% cut-off frequency is determined and the corresponding '''spatial frequency''' is found, yielding the approximate position of '''best focus'''.]]
 
The Fourier transform of the line spread function (LSF) can not be determined analytically by the following equations{{Citation needed|reason=Many functions have analytical Fourier Transforms|date=20 August 2024}}:
