Slightly interestingly there is a way to check image sharpness in Photoshop.

If you look at a histogram of a clean sharp test card black and white image the histogram should show a sharply defined absolutely perfectly vertical edge to the difference between the black and the white portions of the image.

If the lines on an image of a test card are blurred then that blur will be a graduated grey.

If there is any graduated grey in an image it will show up on the histogram.

There is also a numerical display which gives a definitive reading. I just forget how that is done, will try to remember to check it out. It's on a tiny icon on the Histo panel I think.

By selecting portions of the image at say corners, edge and centre, the differences can be assessed.
