Defects of lenses
• Simple single pieces of glass do not actas perfect lenses
• They suffer from several errors, or
aberrations

The objective lens
The most important lens of the microscope

The principal Aberrations are:• Spherical aberration
- caused because the surface of mostlenses is made to be part of a sphere
- easy and cheap to makebut it is the wrong shape
• Chromatic aberration‘colour’ aberration
- caused because all materials from whichlenses can be made have a different
refractive index for each colour

Types of objective lens
• Achromatic– Chromatic aberration minimised for two wavelengths, and
spherical aberration for one (usually green).• Relatively inexpensive• Adequate for routine work• Can give excellent results when used with green filter
• Fluorite (‘Semi-Apochromatic’)– Chromatic aberration better corrected than achromats due to
optical properties of fluorite (calcium fluoride) lens elements.• Perform well at larger apertures than achromats• Simpler design and therefore cheaper than apochromats
• Apochromatic– Chromatic aberration minimised for three wavelengths, and
spherical aberration for two wavelengths.• Virtually perfectly corrected, even for large apertures• Complex design, therefore very expensive

Lens Aberrations
Correct matching of• Objective• Microscope stand• Eyepiece
Microscope parts may seem to be mechanicallyinterchangeable
But they are not optically interchangeable
Aberrations are minimised by careful design…but only for certain conditions of use:

Curvature ofField
Most objectives have a curved field
And some are more curved than others
