Which type is best suited to his work? When the choice is encountered. what are the criteria by which the quality of the selected objective can be judged ln the next few pages we want to try to answer these questions. Lens aberration: and their correction It is well known that simple lenses and lens systems have various imaging imperfections, the so-called aberrations, Some appear in monochromatic light: others are only apparent if polychromatic light (e.g. white light) is used. Which aberrations are to be removed by the specialist who computes the lenses depends on the intended application of the optical system (microscope. telescope, photo- or cine optics). The most frequently- encountered aberrations, which are particularly important in microscope optics and which are to be appropriately corrected. are: Spherical aber- ration, chromatic aberration, chromatic difference in magnification. field curvature and astigmatism. a) Spherical aberration Spherical aberration is a defect characterised by the fact that monochro- matic light (i. a. light of one colour) which passes through the lens close to the optic axis is less refracted than are the correSponding peripheral rays:
