53 51 Astigmatism & Petzval

. Term (3B3+B4) y² cosf par S . For a single positive lens: B  chief ray passes surface under oblique angle Tangential T ray fan  projection of surface curvatures  different powers in tangential and sagittal . tangential (blue) and sagittal (red) focal lines Sagittal . Sequence: tangential - circle of least confusion ray fan with smallest spots (best) – sagittal – paraxial Tangential Circle of least focus . Imaging of a circular grid in different planes confusion Sagittal focus tangential sagittal focus best focus focus

. Astigmatism B3 corrected  one curved image shell with Petzval curvature B4 . Single positive lens  image curved toward the system  negative Petzval = sign convention

. In general Petzval image s‘ = ½ ( 3sS-sT) departs from T, S and Best, is defined @ math 54 55 Psf with Aberrations

. Psf for some low oder Zernike coefficients

. The coefficients are changed between cj = 0...0.7  . The peak intensities are renormalized
