Excerpt from Application of the Algebraic Aberration Equations to Optical Design The number of variables and the interrelations between them are so numerous and complicated that if a direct solution of the third order equations is to be Obtained simplifying assumptions must be introduced. All lens components are assumed. To be thin lenses; that is, to have thicknesses so small that they may be neglected in comparison with the distances from lens to Object and image points. Unless otherwise noted, in the drawings which follow, the lenses represented are to be treated as thin lenses, although represented as having considerable thickness, and distances measured from the lens actually originate at the assumed 'common vertex Of the' two spherical surfaces which bound the lens of zero axial thickness.
