| Description |
English: A simulation of spherical aberration in an optical system with a circular, unobstructed aperture admitting a monochromatic point source. These are longitudinal sections through the focus, and scaled to f/1. Inside focus is to the left, and outside-focus is to the right (i.e., light is propagating left to right). The top image is over-corrected (half a wavelength), the middle image is perfectly corrected, and the bottom image is under-corrected (half a wavelength). Note the left/right reversal of the top and bottom images. While this simulation was computed under the rubric of en:fourier optics, you can compare these images to commonly drawn diagrams in en:geometric optics. See also the corresponding focal plane images.

Wikipedia for Schools is one of SOS Childrens Villages' many educational projects. SOS Children is an international children's charity, providing a good home and loving family to thousands of children who have lost their parents. We also work with communities to help vulnerable families stay together and raise children in the best possible environment. Sponsoring a child is the coolest way to help.
