Reseau

A reseau is a grid of points or marks placed in a photograph by a transparent plate very carefully and precisely aligned with the camera's optics. This provides a stable and reliable basis for measuring objects in a photograph and for detecting and correcting distortions in the photograph. The Hasselblad cameras used on the moon were fitted with reseau plates.
