| acoustic lens | In ultrasonography, a lens used to focus or diverge a sound beam; may be simulated by electronic manipulation of signals. (05 Mar 2000) |

| anterior pole of lens | The central point on the anterior surface of the lens of the eye. Synonym: polus anterior lentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior surface of lens | The anterior surface of the lens of the eye. Synonym: facies anterior lentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aplanatic lens | A lens designed to correct spherical aberration and coma (q.v.). Synonym: periscopic meniscus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apochromatic lens | A compound lens designed to correct both spherical and chromatic aberrations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| asphenc lens | <physics> A lens made aplanatic by grinding the outer zones to a greater radius than the inner zones. Aplanatic condensers can be made in this way. A simple aspheric lens is widely used as a lamp condenser because of its efficiency in converging light rays to one focal plane. (05 Aug 1998) |
| aspheric lens | A lens with a paraboloidal surface that eliminates spherical aberration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| astigmatic lens | A lens in which one of the surfaces is curved in one meridian and less curved in the opposite meridian; e.g., a teaspoon or a football. Synonym: astigmatic lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axis of lens | A line connecting the anterior and posterior poles of the lens of the eye. Synonym: axis lentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| back lens | <physics> In any compound lens (a lens system composed of more than one lens element), the last lens through which the light passes is called the back lens. It may be a single simple lens, a doublet, or triplet. See: front lens (05 Aug 1998) |
| Bertrand lens | <physics> A small, low-power lens, usually on a slide for insertion into the drawtube between analyser and ocular. It is used to observe the back focal plane of the objective so as to examine interference figures or as an aid in achieving interference figures. It is apt to be strongly astigmatic. It is used to image the lamp filament in setting up Kohler illumination as well as for centreing dispersion staining stops to the substage aperture diaphragm. (05 Aug 1998) |
| biconcave lens | A lens that is concave on two opposing surfaces. Synonym: concavoconcave lens, double concave lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biconvex lens | A lens with both surfaces convex. Synonym: convexoconvex lens, double convex lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bifocal lens | A lens used in cases of presbyopia, in which one portion is suited for distant vision, the other for reading and close work in general; the reading addition may be cemented to the lens, fused to the front surface, or ground in one-piece form; other bifocal lens's are the flat-top Franklin type, or blended invisible. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Geneva lens measure | A device for measuring the radii of the curvature of a spectacle lens. Synonym: lens clock. Origin: Geneva, Switzerland (05 Mar 2000) |
