Apochromat

SWPP Photographic Glossary

A lens that has been corrected for chromatic aberration in all three primary colours-red, green, and blue-ensuring that they converge at the same focal plane. This correction minimizes colour fringing and produces highly sharp, colour-accurate images across the entire frame. Apochromat lenses are widely used in high-precision photography, macro work, and scientific imaging, where edge-to-edge clarity, fine detail, and faithful colour reproduction are essential.
