where n i is the refractive index of the lens, so to reduce image curvature, the<br />

radii of curvature should be chosen so that R2 – R1 is small. Because the focal<br />

length is fixed, this means that the radii of curvature have to be small. This<br />

causes strong spherical aberration, so there is a trade-off between field curvature<br />

and spherical aberration. Remember that spherical aberration can be reduced by<br />

proper placement of the stop.
