Abstract

On the basis of Hopkins' method the design of achromatic objectives, erectors and eyepieces has been investigated. Many trials were done 10 control the aberralion of Ihe designed lenses. The optical glasses were chosen from those readily available in Egypt, so the designed lenses can be manufactured and inspected easily. Good agreement has been obtained between the calculated optical properties and those measured experimentally on the finished lenses.
