  2. Achromatic lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achromatic_lens

    Uses an equiconvex crown glass lens (i.e. R 1 > 0 with −R 1 = R 2) and a complementary-curved second flint glass lens (with R 3 = R 2). The back of the flint glass lens is flat ( R 4 = ∞). A Littrow doublet can produce a ghost image between R 2 and R 3 because the lens surfaces of the two lenses have the same radii.

    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.

  4. Lens (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_(geometry)

    A lens with a different shape forms the answer to Mrs. Miniver's problem, on finding a lens with half the area of the union of the two circles. Lenses are used to define beta skeletons, geometric graphs defined on a set of points by connecting pairs of points by an edge whenever a lens determined by the two points is empty.

    A lens is biconvex (or double convex, or just convex) if both surfaces are convex. If both surfaces have the same radius of curvature, the lens is equiconvex. A lens with two concave surfaces is biconcave (or just concave). If one of the surfaces is flat, the lens is plano-convex or plano-concave depending on

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lenses

    A simple lens is an optical element with perfect or approximate axial symmetry which transmits and refracts light, concentrating or diverging the beam. A compound lens is an array of simple lenses (elements) with a common axis; the use of multiple elements allows more optical aberrations to be corrected than is possible with a single element.

  7. List of lens designs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lens_designs

    This list covers optical lens designs grouped by tasks or overall type. The field of optical lens designing has many variables including the function the lens or group of lenses have to perform, the limits of optical glass because of the index of refraction and dispersion properties, and design constraints including realistic lens element center and edge thicknesses, minimum and maximum air ...

  8. 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 ...
