2 unusual facts about Chromatic aberration


HP 9845C

The display showed 8 soft keys on the lower end of the screen, 39 alignment controllers behind a door enabled fine tuning of color convergence.

Neuron doctrine

Chromatic aberration, spherical aberration and the dependence on natural light all played a role in limiting microscope performance in the early 19th century.


Albert Bouwers

The design has an ultra wide field of view with no spherical aberration but does not correct chromatic aberration and was only suitable as a monochromatic astronomical astrographic camera working at a single wavelength of light.

Electrostatic lens

Bohr and Pauli claim that this lens leads to aberration when applied to ions with spin (in the sense of chromatic aberration), but not when applied to electrons, which also have a spin.
