Generation

Spherical aberration is an optical defect that occurs when light rays passing through the outer edges of a spherical lens or mirror focus at different points than rays near the center, resulting in blurred images. This is significant because it degrades image quality in optical systems like telescopes, microscopes, and cameras. It can be corrected using aspherical lens designs, compound lens systems, or aperture stops to block peripheral rays.
