PreviousNext
In optics, aberration is a property of optical systems such as lenses that results in light being spread out over some region of space rather than being focused to a point. An image-forming optical system with aberration will produce an image that is not sharp. Aberration can be caused due to a variety of reasons such as lens size, material, thickness and position of the object. In this article, let us learn more about aberration and its type.

What is Optical Aberration?
In an ideal lens, light from any given point of an object would pass through the lens and come together at a single point in the image plane. Contrary to ideal lenses, real lenses do not focus light to a single point. These deviations from the idealized lens performance are known as an aberration of the lens.
Types of Aberration
When the light of a single wavelength is considered, there are five monochromatic aberrations to be considered and they are:
- Spherical Aberration
- Coma
- Astigmatism
- Curvature of Field
- Distortion
When the light is not monochromatic (not of a single wavelength), a sixth aberration is found in lenses but not in mirrors and is named chromatic aberration.
Spherical Aberration
In spherical aberration, rays of light from a point on the optical axis of a spherical lens do not all meet at the same image point. Rays passing closer to the center are focussed farther away than the rays passing through a circular zone near its rim. A circular cross-section is formed whenever a plane held perpendicular to the optical axis is made to intersect a cone. The area of the cross-section varies with the distance along the optical axis. The smallest size is known as the circle of least confusion. The most spherical aberration-free image is found at this distance.
The image depicts a case of spherical aberration. The most spherical aberration-free image is found at the circle of least confusion.
Coma
The name “Coma” is derived from the fact that a point image is blurred into a comet shape when rays from an off-axis object point are imaged by different zones of the lens. In spherical aberration, the images of an object point that fall on a plane perpendicular to the optical axis are circular in the shape of varying sizes and superimposed about a common centre. In a coma, the images of an off-axis object point are circular, of varying size, but displaced with respect to each other.
The image shows two images, one resulting from a central cone of rays and the other from a cone passing through the rim.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism is the result of the failure of a single zone of the lens to focus the image of an off-axis point at a single point. In the figure, we see two planes perpendicular to each other passing through the optical axis. These planes are known as the meridian plane and the sagittal plane, the meridian plane being the one containing the off-axis object point. Skew rays, rays not in the meridian plane are focused farther away from the lens than those lying in the plane. In either case, the rays do not meet in a point focus but as lines perpendicular to each other. Intermediate between these two positions, the images are elliptical in shape.
Astigmatism
Curvature of Field & Distortion
Curvature of Field
The curvature of field and distortion refer to the location of image points with respect to one another. The former three aberrations mentioned so far can be corrected by making corrections in the design of the lens, but these two aberrations could remain. In curvature of the field, the image of a plane object perpendicular to the optical axis will lie on a paraboloidal surface known as the Petzval Surface. Distortion, on the other hand, refers to the deformation of an image. There are two kinds of deformation, namely barrel distortion and pincushion distortion.
Distortion
Chromatic Aberration
The failure of a lens to focus all colours in the same plane is known as chromatic aberration. The refractive index for red is least at the red end of the spectrum, hence the focal length of a lens in the air will be greater for red and green than it would be for blue and violet. Chromatic aberration affects magnification along the optical axis and the axis perpendicular to it. The former is known as longitudinal chromatic aberration and the latter is known as lateral chromatic aberration.

What is optical aberration? ›
An optical aberration refers to a defect in a lens design which causes light to spread out instead of focusing to form a sharp image. This ranges from all the light in an image to only certain spots or edges being out of focus.
What are the two types of aberrations that a lens can produce? ›Aberrations fall into two classes: monochromatic and chromatic. Monochromatic aberrations are caused by the geometry of the lens or mirror and occur both when light is reflected and when it is refracted.
What are the different types of aberration in microscope? ›Microscope optical trains typically suffered from as many as five common aberrations: spherical, chromatic, curvature of field, comatic, and astigmatic.
What are the two types of optical? ›Types of optical fiber
These are multimode (MM) fiber, which has a large core and allows for multiple paths through the fiber, and single-mode (SM) fiber, which has only one path, through a much smaller core.
What is chromatic aberration? Chromatic aberration, also known as colour fringing, is a colour distortion that creates an outline of unwanted colour along the edges of objects in a photograph.
What are the causes of aberration? ›aberration, Deviation of light rays by lenses or curved mirrors which causes the images to be blurred. Spherical aberration occurs because curvature in a lens or mirror causes rays falling on the outer edges to be brought to a focus at a different point than those falling on the middle.
How do you prevent lens aberration? ›Prevent chromatic aberration while shooting by using a high-quality lens, avoiding wide-angle lenses, and shooting at a narrower aperture when you can. “The best way to go about fixing it is to shoot it correctly in camera the first time,” says fashion photographer Adam Rindy.
How many types of aberration are there? ›Aberrations are the primary cause of reduced acuity in lenses that are correctly focused. There are five types you should know about, chromatic aberration, spherical aberration, curvature of field, coma, and astigmatism.
What are the seven lens aberrations? ›In fact, Phillipe von Seidel had identified and mathematically described the 5 monochromatic aberrations (spherical aberration, coma, distortion, field curvature, and astigmatism) by 1857. The other two major aberrations, longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberration, were known well before that.
What are the different types of image formed in a microscope? ›The objective lens produces a real, inverted image and the eyepiece acts as a simple magnifier and does not re-invert and produces a virtual image. So overall the image is inverted and virtual.
What is spherical aberration and chromatic aberration? ›
4 Spherical aberration occurs when the surface is not an ideal shape and/or is inaccurate. Parallel beams do not have the same focal point. Chromatic aberration: The separation of colours caused by the lens due to the use of low-quality optical materials.
What are the 3 types of special microscope? ›- Optical microscopes.
- Electron Microscopes.
- Scanning probe microscopes.
❖ The major optical characteristics of lenses are focal length, focus, light transmission (iris, aperture, and ƒ-stop), and depth of field.
What are the 3 types of optical substances give examples? ›Most optical elements are fabricated from glass, crystalline materials, polymers or plastic materials.
What are the types of optical? ›- Step index-single mode fibres.
- Graded index-Single mode fibres.
- Step index-Multimode fibres.
- Graded index-Multimode fibres.
optical image, the apparent reproduction of an object, formed by a lens or mirror system from reflected, refracted, or diffracted light waves. There are two kinds of images, real and virtual.
What are the two types of optical filters? ›There are two classes of optical filters that have different mechanisms of operation: absorptive filters and dichroic filters.
What are the two optical wavelengths? ›Fiber optic transmission wavelengths are determined by two factors: longer wavelengths in the infrared for lower loss in the glass fiber and at wavelengths which are between the absorption bands. Thus the normal wavelengths are 850, 1300 and 1550 nm.
What is the difference between chromatic and achromatic aberration? ›Chromatic aberration of a single lens causes different wavelengths of light to have differing focal lengths. An achromatic doublet brings red and blue light to the same focus, and is the earliest example of an achromatic lens. In an achromatic lens, two wavelengths are brought into the same focus, here red and blue.
What is astigmatism aberration? ›In technology of photography: Aberrations. Astigmatism occurs when the lens fails to focus image lines running in different directions in the same plane; in a picture of a rail fence, for instance, the vertical posts are sharp at a focus setting different from the horizontal rails.
What is spherical aberration in a lens? ›
Spherical aberration is present when the outer parts of a lens do not bring light rays into the same focus as the central part. Images formed by the lens at large apertures are therefore unsharp but get sharper at smaller apertures.
What is another word for aberration? ›- oddity.
- peculiarity.
- quirk.
- delusion.
- eccentricity.
- strangeness.
- weirdness.
Aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy (ACTEM) is a subset of the TEMs which can achieve higher resolution than standard non-corrected TEM. ACTEMs are typically either image (TEM) or probe corrected (STEM). The correction is done using an advanced set of magnetic lenses to achieve subatomic resolution.
How lens aberration is corrected? ›To correct chromatic aberration, achromatic or apochromatic lenses or lens groups are used. Sophisticated design and optimisation software has made possible the design of highly-corrected optical systems, but high machining accuracies and close tolerances are required in manufacture.
How do you correct aberration color? ›How Do You Correct a Chromatic Aberration? The easiest way to fix chromatic aberration in Photoshop is with the Lens Correction Filter. This filter can fix chromatic aberration automatically or you can do it manually. Use the different sliders depending on the colors you want to remove.
What are the three types of off-axis aberration? ›Astigmatism, coma and defocus were found to be the most important aberrations off-axis.
What are the 6 types of lenses? ›- Macro Lenses. This type of camera lens is used to create very close-up, macro photographs. ...
- Telephoto Lenses. ...
- Wide Angle Lenses. ...
- Standard Lenses. ...
- Specialty Lenses.
- Cylindrical – curvature in one direction.
- Fresnel – narrow ring-like surface.
- Lenticular – a group of micro-lenses.
- Gradient Index – flat surfaces but with varying refractive indices.
- Axicon – conical surface.
There are typically 4 specialty lenses: Fisheye, Wide Angle, Macro, and Telephoto.
What are the two types of image form? ›Hence, real and virtual images are two types of images formed.
What are the two image types? ›
Types of Images: Vector & Raster Graphics.
What are the 2 image formed by a lenses? ›In case of the concave lens, we always get erect images, diminished images and virtual images. Here if the object is very far away, the images formed by lenses will be all the more diminished.
What is an example of chromatic aberration? ›Chromatic aberration, also known as color fringing, is a color distortion that creates an outline of unwanted color along the edges of objects in a photograph. Often, it appears along metallic surfaces or where there's a high contrast between light and dark objects, such as a black wall in front of a bright blue sky.
Why is it called spherical aberration? ›Spherical Aberration in Convex Lens
Spherical aberration occurs because spherical surfaces are not the ideal shape for a lens, but are by far the simplest shape to which glass can be ground and polished, and so are often used.
It's a bit different in the sense that where spherical aberration occurs when a lens can't focus a single color of light, chromatic aberration occurs when a lens can't focus the various colors (wavelengths) at a single point. Each lens has what's called a refractive index (its ability to bend light).
What are the 3 main lens systems of the microscope? ›All quality microscopes have achromatic, parcentered, parfocal lenses.
What are the 7 inherent lens defects or aberration? ›Types of Aberration of Lenses
Chromatic Aberration. Astigmatism. Distortion. Field Curvature.
There are two major branches of optics, physical and geometrical. Physical optics deals primarily with the nature and properties of light itself. Geometrical optics has to do with the principles that govern the image-forming properties of lenses, mirrors, and other devices that make use of light.
What causes optical aberrations? ›aberration, Deviation of light rays by lenses or curved mirrors which causes the images to be blurred. Spherical aberration occurs because curvature in a lens or mirror causes rays falling on the outer edges to be brought to a focus at a different point than those falling on the middle.
