Compound optical system, afocal in normal adjustment, consisting of a positive objective element or group and a positive ocular element or group forming a magnified, inverted ...

Condensing lens

Concave lens

Eyewear; Optometry

Lens which causes parallel incident light to diverge from a virtual focus. Also known as minus-power lens.

Abbe number

Eyewear; Optometry

Mathematical expression for determining the correction for chromatic aberration of an optical material of component.

Astigmatic difference

Eyewear; Optometry

Vertex power in the second principal meridian minus that in the first principal meridian.

Optical drive
