| Keywords: Spherical-aberration-slice.jpg A simulation of spherical aberration in an optical system with a circular unobstructed aperture admitting a monochromatic point source These are longitudinal sections through the focus and scaled to f/1 Inside focus is to the left and outside-focus is to the right i e light is propagating left to right The top image is over-corrected half a wavelength the middle image is perfectly corrected and the bottom image is under-corrected half a wavelength Note the left/right reversal of the top and bottom images While this simulation was computed under the rubric of en fourier optics you can compare these images to commonly drawn diagrams in en geometric optics See also the corresponding focal plane images Transferred from http //en wikipedia org en wikipedia; transfer was stated to be made by User Undead_warrior 2005-06-14 Original uploader was Mdf at http //en wikipedia org en wikipedia Released into the public domain by the author Mdf en original upload log page en wikipedia Spherical-aberration-slice jpg 2005-06-14 18 59 Mdf 1024×1542×8 204778 bytes <nowiki>A simulation of spherical aberration in an optical system with a circular unobstructed aperture admitting a monochromatic point source These are longitudinal sections through the focus and scaled to f/1 Inside focus is to the left and outside-focus </nowiki> Spherical aberration Diffraction | ||||
