| achromatic | <microscopy> Literally, colour-free. A lens or prism is said to be achromatic when corrected for two colours. The remaining colour seen in an image formed by such a lens is said to be secondary chromatic aberration. A truly achromatic lens would transmit light without decomposing it spectrally and there would be no colour fringing in the image. A doublet, composed of a positive and negative lens element, can be made achromatic for two colours which much improves the performance for most of the others. (05 Aug 1998) |
