Optica Achromatic Lenses
Description
An Achromatic Lens or Achromat is a Lens that is designed to limit the effects of chromatic and spherical aberration. Achromatic Lenses are corrected to bring two wavelengths (typically red and blue) into focus in the same plane. The most common type is the achromatic doublet, which is composed of two individual lenses made from glasses with different amounts of dispersion. Typically, one element is a negative (concave) element made out of flint glass such as F2, which has relatively high dispersion, and the other is a positive (convex) element made of crown glass such as BK7, which has lower dispersion.
