I know spherometers are used to measure concave hand-ground mirror surfaces, but I want to know what I'd use to measure a convex surface if I tried grinding my own refractor lense.
I wouldn't do it by hand though, I'd try to make like a pottery spinning wheel and automatically do the grinding by keeping the pressure, rpm , and exposure time constant, and just measuring the surface till I got it right. But I'd need something to measure the surface with. What do I do ?
