noun
- Plural of apochromat; optical lenses or lens systems designed to minimize chromatic aberration across a wide spectrum of light wavelengths.
Usage: technical; optics; used in microscopy and astronomy
Examples
- The microscope was equipped with high-quality apochromats for superior color correction.
- Apochromats are preferred in professional photography because they reduce color fringing.
- The telescope's apochromats provided excellent image clarity across the visible spectrum.
- Modern apochromats use multiple glass elements to achieve precise color correction.
- Researchers selected apochromats for the laboratory's new imaging system.
