  2. Chromatic aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration

    Chromatic aberration also affects black-and-white photography. Although there are no colors in the photograph, chromatic aberration will blur the image. It can be reduced by using a narrow-band color filter, or by converting a single color channel to black and white. This will, however, require longer exposure (and change the resulting image).

  3. Dispersion (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    In photographic and microscopic lenses, dispersion causes chromatic aberration, which causes the different colors in the image not to overlap properly. Various techniques have been developed to counteract this, such as the use of achromats , multielement lenses with glasses of different dispersion.

  4. Optical aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_aberration

    1: Imaging by a lens with chromatic aberration. 2: A lens with less chromatic aberration In optics , aberration is a property of optical systems, such as lenses , that causes light to be spread out over some region of space rather than focused to a point. [ 1 ]

  5. Distortion (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    In geometric optics, distortion is a deviation from rectilinear projection; a projection in which straight lines in a scene remain straight in an image.It is a form of optical aberration that may be distinguished from other aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma, chromatic aberration, field curvature, and astigmatism in a sense that these impact the image sharpness without changing an ...

  6. Apochromat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apochromat

    Chromatic aberration is the phenomenon of different colors focusing at different distances from a lens. In photography, chromatic aberration produces soft overall images, and color fringing at high-contrast edges, like an edge between black and white. Astronomers face similar problems, particularly with telescopes that use lenses rather than ...

  7. Scherzer's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scherzer's_theorem

    These aberrations are of spherical and chromatic nature, that is, the spherical aberration coefficient C s and the chromatic aberration coefficient C c are always positive. [2] Scherzer solved the system of Laplace equations for electromagnetic potentials assuming the following conditions: electromagnetic fields are rotationally symmetric,

  8. Theory of Colours - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Colours

    Light spectrum, from Theory of Colours – Goethe observed that colour arises at the edges, and the spectrum occurs where these coloured edges overlap.. Theory of Colours (German: Zur Farbenlehre) is a book by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe about the poet's views on the nature of colours and how they are perceived by humans.

  9. Abbe number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbe_number

    Glasses' Abbe numbers, along with their mean refractive indices, are used in the calculation of the required refractive powers of the elements of achromatic lenses in order to cancel chromatic aberration to first order. These two parameters which enter into the equations for design of achromatic doublets are exactly what is plotted on an Abbe ...
