20
Q

Monochromatic Aberrations

A

wavelength independent aberrations

spherical, coma, radial astigmatism, curvature of field, distortion

21
Q

Chromatic Aberrations

A

longitudinal and transverse

22
Q

Spherical Aberration

A

peripheral rays focus at different points on optical axis than paraxial rays

23
Q

Longitudinal SA

A

length of blur circle

marginal and paraxial rays focused at 2 different places

24
Q

Lateral SA

A

area size of blur circle

25
Q

Increase in pupil size _____ image quality

A

decreases

more aberrations

26
Q

Coma

A

comet shaped

from various magnification in height of incident rays

27
Q

Aberrations cancelled by small pupil size

A

spherical aberration and coma

28
Q

Necessary to compensate for spherical aberration

A

very high powered lenses

29
Q

Influence effective power of a lens

A

vertex distance- increase- more minus; decrease- more plus

rays at oblique angle- makes astigmatism and spherical

30
Q

Oblique Astigmatism

A

from rays hitting lens obliquely causing power to be altered

warped image plane

31
Q

Difference between sagittal and tangential power

A

oblique astigmatism

32
Q

Curvature of Field and Oblique Astigmatism

A

different warping along two principal axis

33
Q

Petzval Surface

A

image surface created by a system with no OA

34
Q

When is the curvature of field present?

A

when Petzval surface does not correspond to the far point of the eye

35
Q

Corrected Curve Lenses

A

lenses corrected for OA, curvature of field, or both

36
Q

Point Focal Lense

A

lens corrected completely for radial astigmatism

curvature of field uncorrected

37
Q

Percival Form Lens

A

lens corrected completely for curvature of field

OA uncorrected

38
Q

Distortion

A

straight line objects that do not pass through the optical axis- curved

39
Q

Distortion is more of a problem in….

A

higher powered lenses

40
Q

Aberrations causing the most concern

A

OA
Curvature of Field
Distortion

41
Q

Higher refractive index = ________ lens

A

thinner

42
Q

Longitudinal Chromatic Aberrations

A

different wavelengths are focused at different distances from lense

43
Q

Transverse Chromatic Aberrations

A

different wavelengths are focused at different points in same focal plane
blue light deviates the most

44
Q

Red-Green test is based on….

A

chromatic aberrations

45
Q

Chromatic Dispersion

A

quantifies the amount of chromatic aberration in a lens

46
Q

Effects of Transverse Chromatic Aberration

A

impacts peripheral viewing
prismatic effects for different wavelengths
greater impact at higher powers, but need a lot to cause issues

47
Q

Minimizing Chromatic Aberrations

A

shorter vertex distance
monocular PDs
add sufficient panto

48
Q

Abbe Number

A

Bigger is better

higher index of refraction = lower number
