  7. Magnification

  8. 26.13 The Telescope A telescope is an instrument for magnifying distant objects, such as stars and planets. Like a microscope, a telescope consists of an objective and an eyepiece.

  11. 26.14 Lens Aberrations • Spherical Aberration • Chromatic Aberration

  12. Spherical Aberration Spherical aberration occurs with converging and diverging lenses made with spherical surfaces. The circle of least confusion is where the most satisfactory image can be formed by the lens. Spherical aberration can be reduced substantially by using a variable-aperture diaphragm to allow only those rays close to the principal axis to pass through the lens.

  13. Chromatic Aberration Chromatic aberration arises because the index of refraction of the material from which the lens is made varies with wavelength. Chromatic aberration can be greatly reduced by using a compound lens, such as the combination of a converging lens and a diverging lens. A lens combination designed to reduce chromatic aberration is called an achromatic lens (from the Greek "achromatos", meaning "without color"). All high-quality cameras use achromatic lenses.
