Sie coditio Coma aberratio ca be cosidered as a variatio of magificatio with respect to the aperture. If the paraxial magificatio is equal to the real ray margial magificatio, the a optical system would be free of coma. Spherical aberratio ca be cosidered as a variatio of the focal legth with the aperture. U U u u' si U si U '

Pricipal surface I a aplaat workig at m=0 the equivalet refractig surface is a hemisphere
Cassegrai s pricipal surface Sice the equivalet refractig surface i a Cassegrai telescope is a paraboloid the the coma of that Cassegrai is the same of a paraboloid mirror with the same focal legth.

At that stop positio spherical aberratio might be corrected. The the system becomes aplaatic ad the stop ca be shifted back to its origial positio.

Camera Schmidt Aspheric plate at mirror ceter of curvature A-bar=0 Stop aperture at aspheric plate Note symmetry about mirror CC No spherical aberratio No coma No astigmatism. Aastigmatic over a wide field of view! Satisfies Corady s D-d sum
Notes Need to make aplaatic zero-field systems (that are fast). The aligmet becomes easier. Leses for lasers diodes/optical fibers Microscope objectives
