Spherical Aberration (3 Order - Seidel)

The document discusses various types of optical aberrations that occur in lens systems, including spherical aberration, astigmatism, coma, field curvature, distortion, and chromatic aberration. For each aberration, it provides definitions and examples. Tables show the effect of spherical aberration on focal length at different lens thicknesses. Diagrams and images demonstrate different kinds of distortion aberrations and how chromatic aberration affects image focus. Links are provided to external sources with further information on various aberration topics.

Field Curvature

Notice that with a closed iris the distortion is greatly reduced,


however the light gathering power of the lens is also reduced.
Under dim fluorescence conditions the decrease in pixel intensity
may be unacceptable.
