Off center aberration

The question was posed whether or not the diameter of the rings would be effected by the position of the center of the rings. To determine how much error there is in this we took several measurements.

On center

inner ring (mm) outer ring (mm) V 1) 30.29 48.3 3.8kV

Off center
