The most used system is the Newtonian reflector invented by Sir Isaac Newton according to the drawing on the side. This system eliminated the refractors chromatic aberration, since the primary mirror reflects the light. The modern refractors are achromatics, but they cant eliminate totally the cromatism. However the reflector mirror should be parabolic, since the spherical mirror has a great aberration, depending of the focal distance, that endangers the image. |
