Then *the spherical refracting surfaces* can be considered *quasi-stigmatic*, and therefore they can be used to build optical images.

Mathematically, when an angle $`\alpha`$ is small $`\alpha < or \approx 10 ^\circ`$, the following approximations can be made :<br>
$`sin(\alpha) \approx tan (\alpha) \approx \alpha`$, and $`cos(\alpha) \approx 1`$.
*Geometrical optics limited to Gaussian conditions* is called *Gaussian optics* or *paraxial optics*.
