This consists of two to four achromatic lenses,(the achromatic triplet, the most common form, is represented onan enlarged scale at L in Fig. 323), combined so as to act as asingle lens of short focus. By the use of several lenses, the aber-rations can be better corrected than with a single lens. 426 ETHBE DYNAMICS.
