Summary

Description
English: Aberration of Sphericity.—Suppose, as in the figure, M A K to be a refractive surface on which parallel rays from L to S impinge, it will be seen that those rays passing near the circumference are brought to a focus at F¹, and those passing near the centre at F²—intermediate rays being focused at N. Thus on the portion of the axis between F¹ and F² there will be a series of focal points, and the effect will be a blurred and bent image.
