Fig. 4. : A spherical refracting surface is not stigmatic: The rays (or their extensions) coming |
|
|
|
from an object point generally do not converge towards an image point. |

Fig. 5a. : If we limit the opening of the spherical refracting surface so that only the rays |

meeting the surface near the vertex are refracted through the surface. |

Fig. 5b. : and if the object points remain close to the optical axis, so that the angles of |
|
|
|
incidence and refraction remain small, then for each object point an image point can be almost |
|
|
|
defined, and therefore the spherical refracting surface becomes quasi-stigmatic. |
