  2. Achromatic lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achromatic_lens

    An achromatic doublet brings red and blue light to the same focus, and is the earliest example of an achromatic lens. In an achromatic lens, two wavelengths are brought into the same focus, here red and blue. An achromatic lens or achromat is a lens that is designed to limit the effects of chromatic and spherical aberration. Achromatic lenses ...

  3. Achromatic telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achromatic_telescope

    An Achromatic telescope uses an achromatic lens to correct for this. An achromatic lens is a compound lenses made with two types of glass with different dispersion. One element, a concave lens made out of Flint glass, has relatively high dispersion, while the other, a convex element made of Crown glass, has a lower dispersion. The crown lens is ...

  4. Condenser (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condenser_(optics)

    This was a simple plano-convex or bi-convex lens, or sometimes a combination of lenses. With the development of the modern achromatic objective in 1829, by Joseph Jackson Lister, the need for better condensers became increasingly apparent. By 1837, the use of the achromatic condenser was introduced in France, by Felix Dujardin, and Chevalier.

  5. Lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens

    A burning apparatus consisting of two biconvex lens. A lens is a transmissive optical device that focuses or disperses a light beam by means of refraction.A simple lens consists of a single piece of transparent material, while a compound lens consists of several simple lenses (elements), usually arranged along a common axis.

  6. Gauss lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_lens

    The Gauss lens is a compound achromatic lens that uses two uncemented elements; in its most basic form, a positive meniscus lens on the object side and a negative meniscus lens on the image side.

  7. History of photographic lens design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_photographic...

    Reversed achromatic lens. Charles Chevalier's Paris optical firm produced lenses for both Niépce and Daguerre for their experiments in photography.In 1829 [3] [citation needed], Chevalier created an achromatic lens (a two-element lens made from crown glass and flint glass) to cut down on chromatic aberration for Daguerre's experiments.

  8. Cooke triplet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooke_triplet

    Cooke triplet. According to Taylor, the lens design was derived by considering a cemented achromatic doublet consisting of one thin negative element and one thin positive element, both of equal power; such a doublet would result in a compound lens with zero net power but also a flat field of focus.

  9. Cardinal point (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_point_(optics)

    For a single lens surrounded by a medium of refractive index n = 1, the locations of the principal points H and H ′ with respect to the respective lens vertices are given by the formulas = ′ = (), where f is the focal length of the lens, d is its thickness, and r 1 and r 2 are the radii of curvature of its surfaces. Positive signs indicate ...
