As in this episode we will be using the slanted board method to determine the focus of our new Light Objects 18mm ZnSe lens. Because the board slanted (raised on one end by 2.54cm). The laser will start out of focus, run into focus and then back out. We can then measure with our scale the distance up from the bed to the position on the board where the bean is at it's finest to find the sweet spot for the focal point of the laser. youtu.be/7hL1QGIhKjM

I've seen that method used. I just can't seen to see a lot of difference when I tried it. Possibly I didn't have enough of a slant on the test board, or had the speed too slow or simply didn't interpret what I did correctly. I'll have to try again now that i have the upgraded lens installed. Good explanation in your video. Thanks for sharing.
