Apochromatic(APO) refractors use special lenses that offer the best chromatic aberration correction and the highest contrast. Apochromatic refractors are great telescopes for deep-sky astrophotography, but can be used with great performances to observe planets, [the] Moon, [the] Sun(with the proper Sun filter) and double stars. 5, record 1, English, - apochromatic%20refractor

A prism composed usually of two prisms of different transparent substances which have unequal dispersive powers, as two different kinds of glass, especially flint glass and crown glass, the difference of dispersive power being compensated by giving them different refracting angles, so that, when placed together so as to have opposite relative positions, a ray of light passed through them is refracted or bent into a new position, but is free from color. 1, record 7, English, - achromatic%20prism

Lorsque vous observez le passage de la lumière blanche à travers un prisme, vous pouvez remarquer qu'elle se décompose en différentes couleurs. La lumière blanche est en réalité un mélange de toutes les couleurs, celles de l'arc en ciel. Or une lentille simple se comporte localement comme un prisme et a donc tendance à séparer les couleurs. L'image n'est alors nette que pour le bleu, que pour le vert ou que pour le rouge. C'est l'aberration chromatique. Afin de palier ce problème, qui rend donc les images floues, on adjoint plusieurs lentilles de nature différentes permettant ainsi de focaliser la plupart des couleurs en un même point. Si l'objectif possède deux lentilles, on parle de système achromatique et s'il en possède trois, de système apochromatique. 2, record 9, French, - aberration%20chromatique

We have developed a legitimate fluorescence confocal scanning microscope(CLSM) using a near ultraviolet(UV) laser. This system has almost no chromatic aberration from the near UV region to the visible region(350-600 nm), and the objectives are designed as water-immersion type. Therefore this system provides the high-quality fluorescence image excited by the near UV laser, and high-quality image of deep points in a sample. 1, record 17, English, - fluorescence%20laser%20scanning%20microscope

Telescope object glass that has been highly corrected for color error(chromatic aberration). The typical achromatic lens brings two colors(usually red and blue) to a common focus by using two different types of glass in combination. In an apochromat, three lenses are used, thus bringing a third color, usually violet, to the same focus. 1, record 22, English, - three%20element%20apochromat
