| Summary:
We describe a technique for measuring focus errors in a cryogenic,
wide-field, near-infrared space telescope. The measurements are made with a
collimator looking through a large vacuum window, with a reflective cold filter
to reduce background thermal infrared loading on the detectors and optics. For
the $300textrm{ mm}$ diameter aperture $f/3$ space telescope, SPHEREx, we
achieve a focus position measurement with $sim ! 5textrm{ }mu textrm{m
statistical}$ and $sim ! 15 textrm{ }mu textrm{m systematic}$ error.
