    The values of RMS before and after compensation of the five fields of view and the nominal state. (a) F1; (b) F2; (c) F3; (d) F4; (e) F5. Blue dots indicate the value of RMS when the TM surface figure error exists, pink dots indicate the value of RMS after compensation, and green dots indicate the RMS of the system in the nominal state
