Meniscus Lens
Positive meniscus lens is a convex-concave lens thicker at the center than at the edges. It is used to minimize spherical aberration. When used in combination with another lens, it’s will shorten the focal length, and increase the NA of system.
Negative meniscus lens is a convex-concave lens thinner at the center than edges. It increases the divergence of the beam without introducing any significant spherical aberration. When used in combination with another lens, it will increase the focal length, and decrease the NA of the system. |
