Abstract
A contour-unsharpness in transmitted light is typical for the imaging of no n-transparent bodies and cannot be geometric-optically explained with the c ollinear optical imaging. This contour-unsharpness follows geometric-optica lly from the ray-shading of the ray pencil on the body itself (shadow-proje ction). In this paper the geometric-optical modelling of the contour-unshar pness is discussed and illustrated by numeric-graphical examples.
